Verse 1:
Dm                             C
  The gentle man caller in the blue suede shoes
              Gm                                 F
He don't know what to do - he just wants to look good for you
Dm                                    C
  So he rushes in to tell you what he did today,
                      Gm                                 F
But he can't think of what to say. I think you'll listen anyway


Chorus 1:
Gm       Bb                   F         C               Gm
           He wants to have a good time just like everybody
         Bb                   F          C
           He doesn't want to fall apart


Verse 2:
Dm                                  C
  You watch him as he stutters over what to say
                   Gm                                F
It's just a little game you play. It's no easier for you some days
(Riff 1)  Dm                                        C
             You wish that you could tell him it'll be okay
                      Gm                             F
But you feel a little shy these days cause everybody goes away
 

Chorus 2:
Gm       Bb                      F         C
Oh         You just wanna have a good time just like everybody
Gm       Bb                         F              C

Verse 3:
Dm                                      C
  I can look into your eyes and see the mess we're in
                      Gm 
Well, darling if it's shit came out
                         F            (Riff 2)
Then I suppose that it's shit went in
Dm                                                C
  Even though I couldn't say I've been the places that you've been
                    Gm                                   F
You know he made my heart real strong even if he made my head real thin


Chorus 3:
Gm    Bb                  F         C               Gm
         I want to have a good time just like everybody
      Bb                   F           C
         And I don't wanna fall apart
   Gm    Bb                F         C                   Gm    Bb
Oh...       I wanna have a good time just like everybody else
                        F                           C                Gm

Gm   Bb                   F 
        I really love the red haired girls
     C                    Gm
I'm just another boy from Texas
Bb                         F         C                 Gm
   Come on and take a spin   I got a brand new set of wings
