Short Sweet Ride

G  G  D  G

        G                    C    
I could see it coming from a mile 
  G
a way
                          D        
A heartache lookin' for a place to 
G
stay
But I couldn't resist her and I 
C           G
couldn't be cool
                          D     G
Lord can't a woman make a man a fool

        C
It's an age-old story but it still 
holds true
      G                      D 
There ain't no end to what a man 
        G
won't do
      C
He'll love some woman 'til he go 
insane
       G                     D    
It's a short sweet ride on a 
   G
runaway train

      G                        C  
I was drunk and crazy from her 
       G
sweet per fume
                             D     
But I knew stone sober I was being 
G
used
Now the heartache lingers like a 
C          G
cheap colo gne
                             D     
She took all she wanted then she 
  G
was gone

Repeat Chorus

[Solo]
C  C  G  D  G  C  C  G  D  G

       G                       C  
It was almost worth it for the 
     G
time we spent
                               D   
But there ain't no future in a 
      G
heart for rent
Still she taught me something 'bout 
    C        G
the facts of life
                         D         
Love cuts quicker than a 
  G
switchblade knife

Repeat Chorus Twice

  G                     D     
A short sweet ride on a runaway 
  G
train
