I think you'll listen anyway Chorus 1: He wants to have a good time just like everybody He doesn't want to fall apart Verse 2: You watch him as he stutters over what to say It's just a little game you play. It's no easier for you some days (Riff 1) You wish that you could tell him it'll be okay But you feel a little shy these days cause everybody goes away Chorus 2: Oh You just wanna have a good time just like everybody else You don't wanna to fall apart this time Solo chords: (key of ) Verse 3: I can look into your eyes and see the mess we're in Well, darling if it's shit came out (Riff 2) Then I suppose that it's shit went in Even though I couldn't say I've been the places that you've been You know he made my heart real strong even if he made my head real thin Chorus 3: I want to have a good time just like everybody And I don't wanna fall apart Oh... I wanna have a good time just like everybody else And I don't wanna fall apart this time so would you please invite me in Outro Chorus: (repeat as necessary) I really love the red haired girls I'm just another boy from Texas Come on and take a spin I got a brand new set of wings
