> VERSE I:

A E F#m D

When I was a young boy, said put away those young boy ways

A E F#m D

Now that I'm gettin' older, so much older I love all those young boy days.

A E A E

With a girl like you, with a girl like you,

F#m D E

Lord knows there are things we can do, baby, just me and you.

Come on and make it . . .

> CHORUS:

A E A E

hurt so good. Come on baby, make it hurt so good.

D F#m D E

Sometimes love don't feel like it should. You make it . . . hurt so good.

> Repeat Intro

> VERSE II: (same chord pattern as Verse I)

Don't have to be so exiting.

Just tryin' to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah.

You always look so invitin' you ain't as green as you are young

Hey baby, its you. Come on, girl, now, its you.

Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby.

Let's see what we can do. Come on and make it . . .

> Repeat Chorus.

D A D F#m A

I ain't talkin' no big deals; I ain't made no plans myself.

D E

I ain't talkin' no high heels; Maybe we could walk around all day long,

walk around all day long.

GUITAR II

---------

This is an acoustic guitar capoed at the 2nd fret. A good clue for

figuring this out is the recognizable D-Dsus4-D chord progression,

which happens to be a whole-tone sharp. As usual for capoed guitar

parts, I have given fret numbers relative to the capo and named chords

as if they were being played in standard tuning.

Rhythmn 1b:

Same as above except that the first two bars are played 3 times

before playing bars 3 & 4 (i.e. 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 4).

Fill 1:

This may not be 100% accurate, but it's pretty close. I find it

easiest to play this part using my thumb and fingers on my right hand

(no pick).

D = Deaden string with right hand

GUITAR III

----------

This acoustic guitar is playing the same chords used in the Riffs.

The open A string is definitely present, which means the guitar is not

capoed. If you want to play this part on guitar II, I would suggest

playing the low A chord using a standard barre shape, 5776xx (these

are actual frets, not relative to the capo). For the rest of the

chords, play what's given below without the open A string.
