[G] [A] [B]
[D] [G] So [E] I got my boots [F#] on, got [G] the right amount of [A] leather [B] and I'm doing me up with [D] a black
color [G] liner [E] and I'm working my [F#] strut [G] but I know it don't [A] matter all [B] we need in this world
is [D] some love.
[G] [E] There's a thin line [F#m] between [G] the dark side [Bm] and the light side, baby tonight [E] there's a
struggle, [F#m]
[G] got a rumble, [Bm] trying to find it.
But [C] if I had to,
[Em] that would be the only [D] thing I'd ever [Bm] need.
Yeah if I [C] had to, [Em] spend money, fame and fortune, [D] never could compete.
If I [C] had to, [Bm]
[Em] life would be a party [D] in the eye of the storm.
[Bm] If I [C] had to, if
[Em] [D]
I [Bm] [E] had to.

ten in the [G] morning, [E] girls in stripper heels, [F#] boys [Em] holding in Maseratis, [B] what they need
in this world [D] is some love.
[G] [E] It's a thin [F#] line [G] between a wild time [Bm] and a flat line
Baby tonight [Em] it's a struggle, [F#m] I [G] remember [Bm] trying to [F#]
find it
[C] But if I had you,
[Em] that would be the only [D] thing I'd ever [Bm] need
Yeah, if I [C] had you, [Em] that money, fame and fortune [D] never could compete

[Em] you, [D] you, you, you, you, you, [Bm] you
If I had [Em] [C]
the [D] flashing of the [Em] [C] lights, [Gm] it might feel [D] so [E] good
[C]
[G] But I got [D] you stuck in [Em] my [C]
mind, yeah
[D] [Em] [C]
[G] The flashing and the stage, it might [D] get me [Em] high
[C]
[G] But it [D] don't mean a thing [Em] [C] to a liar
