Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro] G | G | G | G | [Verse 1]

You s^Get your sights on me one night When I was sad and l^Donely

We sang a song and before too long

I was thinkin' of you ^Gonly You were s^Goft and nice, I did not think twice Cause attention I was cr^Cavin' Without much ado, I r^Gan straight through The r^Ded flags you were w^Gavin'

[Verse 2]

Hell h^Gath no fire like blind desire It's too late soon as it c^Datches

Out of hand like a broken dam

Or gasoline to m^Gatches I j^Gumped right in when you pulled the pin My higher self den^Cyin' Like a moth to flame, I s^Get my aim On the r^Ded flags you w^Gere flyin'

[Instrumental] G | G | G | D | D | D | D | G | G | G | G | C | C | G | D | G | G | [Verse 3]

Now you w^Gon't return and the silence burns Of a warning, I'm rem^Dinded

"Be careful how you court" and now

With bitter tears, I'm bl^Ginded If ^GI'd been whole in my mind and soul I'da never dreamt of thr^Cowin' My heart at you but I d^Gove into The r^Ded flags you were sh^Gowin'

[Verse 4]

When ^GI was young, seems I had no one And my natural state was w^Dishin'

You were like daylight after dark of night

Thought you had what I was m^Gissin' You dr^Gessed my wounds and you learned my tunes And I thought I needed s^Cavin' From a self-waged war, so I r^Gan straight for The r^Ded flags you were w^Gavin'

[Outro] G | G | G | D | D | D | D | G | G | G | G | C | C | G | D | G | G | G | G | G |
