Verse 1:

E [12-string repeats intro riff on E/A/D strings]
You can try to please me
But it won't be easy
Bm A
Stone walls surround me
G D
I'm surprised that you even found me

Chorus:

A D
And you don't stand an outside chance
(you don't stand an outside chance)
B7 E
You don't stand an outside chance
A [intro riff 2X]
But you can try

Verse 2:

Whatever you do girl
You know you can't get through girl
Can't bring me down
Hang me up or even hang around

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

G D Em
I know you think you'll get me
G D Em
I'm only flesh and bone
G D Em
But you may as well forget me
G D Em
'Cause my heart is stone
A [intro riff 2X]
You better leave me alone

[repeat verse 1]

[repeat chorus]

Coda:

E A [intro riff]
Stand an outside chance [rant to fade]
