C Dm C


[Verse 1]

It’s gonna be a long drive home
            Am         C
Without you shotgun or buzzing my phone
       Dm
It's a nightmare
F         C
Do I even got a voice here?
 C         G
I put up a wall
    Am                                   C                        Dm         F
But wouldn’t have guessed that you would take offense and start a fight there
         C                               G
I had my finger aimed toward you but you missed the point, dear
F                      C             G                       Am
I don’t want to seem unfriendly, but I don’t want to be your friend
         F                     C
I’m in a fantasy dreaming of a happy ending
                            G
But you were my reality and you set in


[Chorus]
               C                           G
Sugar let your hair down; show me that you care now
             Am                 F
Want a fairy tale? I’m ready to rhyme
    C                    G
The stars will glow; the wind will blow
       Am                    F
At the top of your tower I’m tempted to climb
         C                         G
Let your hair down, love is in the air now
         Am                     F
I’m well aware now we’ll be all right
       C            G
If you go down I’ll stand my ground
      Am                           F
Cause I don’t wanna settle for the next best ride

[Verse 2]
         C         G
That was a dead end road
       Am        G                         F
And it left me a wreck and with nothing to show
        C                                  G
But the state I was in through the words I wrote
     G
They help me grow
   Am               G           A           F
Or grow apart. Some songs break hearts, you know?
     G
Well this one was state of the art
F                      C             G                    Am
I don’t want to seem unfriendly, but I don’t like playing pretend
  F                             C
I guess I’m just a sucker for a sappy ending
   G
Or bitter that it’s out of my hands


[Chorus]
               C                           G
Sugar let your hair down; show me that you care now
             Am                 F
Want a fairy tale? I’m ready to rhyme
    C                    G
The stars will glow; the wind will blow
       Am                    F
At the top of your tower I’m tempted to climb
         C
Let your hair down, love is in the air now
         Am                     F
I’m well aware now we’ll be all right
       C            G
If you go down I’ll stand my ground
      Am
Cause I don’t wanna settle for the next best ride


[Bridge]
Am   F                                          Am F                G
   I guess I gotta settle for the next best ride   cause I’m giving up
  F                       C              G                   A
Today I’m gonna treat you friendly. I’ll take whatever I can get
               F                      G     C
But I won’t be sweet for long with my sugar gone
               Am                        G
I’ll have this sour after taste ‘til the bitter end
    F                     C        G                  Am
So, if you’re dead set on leaving, run away while you can
            F                    C                      G
I know when this wears off and I see what a loss caused me to give up
                          C
I’m gonna give in. So run quick
G                  Am    F C D
Run away while you can
     C       Am      Dm
Just run kid Run Kid Run
G
Come back


[Chorus]
               C                           G
Sugar let your hair down; show me that you care now
             Am                 F
Want a fairy tale? I’m ready to rhyme
    C                    G
The stars will glow; the wind will blow
       Am                    F
At the top of your tower I’m tempted to climb
         C
Let your hair down, love is in the air now
         Am                     F
I’m well aware now we’ll be all right
       C            G
If you go down I’ll stand my ground
      Am                             F
Cause I don’t wanna settle for the next best ride
C                            G
I don't wanna settle for the next best ride
    Am                           F
No, I don't wanna settle for the next best ride
   C                 G                   F
If you go down, I'll stand my ground for you
