INTRO

Am  D-D*-D  G  Am
Am  D-D*-D  G       D     F         C
                         Take me,  break me.........

(***NOTE***   -   D* is the D chord, but w/o a finger on the "e" string)



G        D    F          C   Am                             G
Take me, break me, tell me a good one...maybe I'll cry.
C            G     D       F     C             Am             G*             Am
Go with me, show me, tell me a good one...maybe I'll die.
G     D                    F                 C
Lately, I've been dancing in ceiling fans,
Am                                G
into the kitchen, and out the back gate.
   C                         G
I know it sounds strange
           D                   F                 C                     Am                     G*                   Am
but it could be the other way 'round to the ground where I know I must stay.


(***NOTE***      G* is the G chord but only strumming the E A and D strings
                                to get the         sound of the chord. )
                                                   low


Later on in the song the lyrics and chords go...
  C              Am           G*                 Am        Am      G*       Am        G**
"Tell me a good one, maybe we'll die.........togetherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, etc.......

(***NOTE***    G* is the same as above.
                             G**  is the G chord but only strumming the G B and E strings
                              to get the HIGH sound of that chord.


THE REST OF THE FIGURIN' (which isn't much) IS UP TO YOUNZ GUYS.
