Intro: Bb F C F Bb F C 



[Verso 1]

      F 
I'm a puzzle 
      Bb               F 
I'm a walking contradiction 
      Bb              F 
In far from mint condition 
               C              F 
'Cause there's pieces I can't find 
          F 
Sometimes trouble 
         Bb              F 
A can of cope, a day addiction 
           Bb            F 
With set in stone convictions 
         C           F 
And a no bend bottom line 



[Pré-Refrão]

       Dm              C             Bb 
I'm an easy read but I ain't no open book 
      Dm               C       Bb 
Got a knack for making things harder than they look 



[Refrão]
 
      Bb 
I'm a straight shootin' 
F              C 
Beer drinkin', rule breakin' 
F             Bb           F              C 
Don't think I won't take a good thing too far 
      Bb           F 
I'm a midnightin', backslidin' 
C       F 
Getaway car drivin' 
Bb       F             C 
Runnin' away with your heart 
            Dm               C                  Bb 
I guess, be careful what you wish for, is all I meant when I said 
Bb* 
  What you see is what you get

Bb F C F 

             F 
At least I'm honest 
        Bb             F 
I don't spin it like a record 
            Bb              F 
And I ain't acting like I'm better 
         C             F 
Than you know I really am 
                  F 
Yeah, you're dead on it 
           Bb                 F 
You got me figured, I'll admit it 
       Bb           F 
Set in my ways hard-headed 
            C             F 
But hell, I do the best I can 


[Refrão]
 
      Bb

Don't think I won't take a good thing too far 
      Bb           F 
I'm a midnightin', backslidin' 
C       F 
Getaway car drivin' 
Bb       F             C 
Runnin' away with your heart 
            Dm               C                  Bb 
I guess, be careful what you wish for, is all I meant when I said 
Bb*                        Dm 
  What you see is what you get 


[Ponte]

     C           Bb 
With me ain't no tricks up these sleeves 
   Dm                C                Bb* 
An acquired taste, a constant work in progress

Getaway car drivin' 
Bb       F             C
