[Verse 1]
E      A       B           E
I grew up in a north Texas town
    E         A                       B             E
And I was the guy your daddy wouldn't let you hang around
       E            A         B            E
'Cause I was on the move, and I was movin' fast
E               A              B                E
Tell you that I love you but I know it'll never last
     E       A           B        E
Then I met a girl with a heart so true
    E              A               B                  E
She took me by the hand, turned my gray skies back to blue


[Chorus]
         E
She said lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
A
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
B
Listen close, whisper when I tell you
E
 Love me right and we'll always get through
E
Never lie, always stay true
A
You can stay all night if you want to
B
I don't mind the little things you do
E
Love me right and we'll always get through

[Verse 2]
E          A             B          E
I was into gamblin', and I was into cars
E          A               B                  E
I was into goin' where the girls dance on the bars
E          A                 B             E
I was into trouble and I was up to nothin' good
    E            A            B              E
And I was always doin' little things I never should
    E            A            B                E
And I was always leavin', but she can make me stay
E            A         B        E
All I had to do was to hear her say


[Chorus]
         E
She said lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
A
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
B
Listen close, whisper when I tell you
E
 Love me right and we'll always get through
E
Never lie, always stay true
A
You can stay all night if you want to
B
I don't mind the little things you do
E
Love me right and we'll always get through

[Verse 3]
    E               A        B            E
Now I've changed my ways and I'm walkin' straight
E        A              B       E
I'm in a hurry so don't make me late
       E          A        B       E
'Cause I've gotta see her, I wanna know
E         A             B         E
I'm gonna hold and I'll never let go


[Chorus]
         E
She said lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
A
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
B
Listen close, whisper when I tell you
E
 Love me right and we'll always get through
E
Never lie, always stay true
A
You can stay all night if you want to
B
I don't mind the little things you do
E
Love me right and we'll always get through
E
Lay me down, you know I'm gonna love you
A
Hold me tight and there's things I'm gonna show you
B
Listen close, whisper when I tell you
E
 Love me right and we'll always get through
E
Never lie, always stay true
A
You can stay all night if you want to
B
I don't mind the little things you do
E
Love me right and we'll always get through


[Outro]
E
Love me right
     A
Just love me right
            B
I won't you love me right
          E     A   E
And we're gonna get through
