Short Sweet Ride

G G D G G C G I could see it coming from a mile a way D G A heartache lookin' for a place to stay C G But I couldn't resist her and I 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 G There ain't no end to what a man won't do C He'll love some woman 'til he go insane G D G It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train G C G I was drunk and crazy from her sweet per fume D G But I knew stone sober I was being used C G Now the heartache lingers like a cheap colo gne D G She took all she wanted then she was gone Repeat Chorus C C G D G C C G D G G C G It was almost worth it for the time we spent D G But there ain't no future in a heart for rent C G Still she taught me something 'bout the facts of life D G Love cuts quicker than a switchblade knife Repeat Chorus Twice G D G A short sweet ride on a runaway train
