[Verse 1]
                                    D
She said, "I guess there ain't no right way
                         G    Em
For you to say goodbye again
                          A
You been looking at the highway
                             D
Where your heart has always been
                               D
I could cuss you from here to Tuscon
                             G        Em
There ain't nothing left to say, boy"
                                   A
She said "I thought that I could change you
                         D       D7
Aw, but you were born a playboy"


[Chorus]
                         G
So get on the stage and play, boys
                                                  D
Let's kick out the lights tonight, get high, and make noise
                                   A
We might drink a little too much whiskey
                                 D
We might have a little too much fun
                     G
She's already gone away, boys
                                              D           Bm
If we don't go home, what difference does it make, boys?
                                 Em
This ol' world would be a dull place, boys
A                          D     
If it was all work and no play, boys

[Verse 2]
                             D
A hundred miles outside of Houston
                           G   Em
Third name on the marquee sign
                               A
But out here you get used to losing
                                     D
Your friends, your lovers, and your mind


[Chorus]
                         G
So get on the stage and play, boys
                                                  D

                     G

                                              D           Bm
If we don't go home, what difference does it make, boys?
                                 Em
This ol' world would be a dull place, boys
A                          D       
If it was all work and no play, boys

(Play boys!)

[Bridge]
                              C
Set 'em up, we'll knock 'em down
                    G
Wake up in another town
                        D
We don't know no other way
                  C
We ain't good at love
                  G
We ain't good at much
                     A
We just know how to play, hey, hey


[Chorus]
            G
I'm just a playboy
                                           D
You can't blame me for the way that I was made, boys
                                       A
Yeah I might drink a little too much whiskey
                                     D
Yeah I might have a little too much fun
                    G
She's already gone away, boys
                                              D           Bm
If we don't go home, what difference does it make, boys?
                                Em
This ol' world would be a dull place, boys
A                          D   
If it was all work and no play boys
