Pick 'em Up and Lay 'em Down

[Intro]
F#m  D   E   
(x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
F#m
She said the man's going home with me
E                          F#m
She told the bar she was taking all bets
 
Well never trust a woman drinking whiskey
E                        F#m
That lights her own cigarette
A                     D    E                   A
I started calling her baby, temptation was driving me wild
A                            D       E
I think the only thing that saved me
 
It's just not my style
 
 
[Chorus]
A                   D                E
'Cause I'm not the kind of man that goes out just looking for a woman
A            D                    E
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
A             D               E
I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothing
A        D           E
I'm as lonely as any man around
                                                       F#m   D  E
I just don't like to pick them up and lay them down
                 F#m    D   E
Lay them down
 
Pick them up and lay them down
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#m
So we went from bottoms up to coffee cups
E                         F#m
A corner booth where the lights got dim
 
We started talking 'bout getting real close
E           F#m
About how, and about when
A                                 D    E
It started raining harder and harder
                      A
I got up and with a thoughtful smile
A                                                D   E
I said, "Honey, if that ain't thunder and lightning
 
It just ain't worthwhile"
 
 
[Chorus]
A             D                E
I'm not the kind of man that goes out just looking for a woman
A            D                    E
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
A             D               E
I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothing
A        D           E
I'm as lonely as any man around
                                                       F#m   D  E
I just don't like to pick them up and lay them down
                                       F#m    D   E
Lay them down, down, down, down, down
 
 
[Solo]
F#m  D   E  x2
 
 
[Bridge]
A                                       D     E
I turned around and gave her one last smile
                   A
And thought about one long kiss
A                                    D      E
But that would be taking it too far baby
 
And maybe something I couldn't resist
 
 
[Chorus]
A             D                E
I'm not the kind of man that goes out just looking for a woman
A            D                    E
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
A             D               E
I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothing
A        D           E
I'm as lonely as any man around
                                                       F#m
I just don't like to pick them up and lay them down
                D   E
Lay them down
                               F#m   D   E
Pick them up and lay them down
 
Lay them down
 
 
[Outro]
      F#m                           D   E
If it ain't about thunder and lightning
                                 F#m       D   E
It just ain't worthwhile
                                 F#m       D   E
Lord knows it just ain't my style
                               F#m         D   E
Pick them up and lay them down, down, down, down, down
                                 F#m       D   E
Pick them up and lay them down
