verse 1 
             C 
I've been down 
            E 
I've been down too far to care 
          F 
I keep gettin' in my car 
           Fm 
But I'm not going anywhere 
               C 
And I've been had 
        E

Where's a boy with bad intentions

verse 2 
       C 
I recall 
     E 
When I was twenty three

Wondering how anyone could 
Fm 
Fall in love with me 
          C 
Now I'm old

And I'm well past twenty five 
      F 
And I can't seem to fall in love 
   Fm 
No matter how hard I try

Wind my way through Texas 
     Fm 
And into New Mexico
