[Intro] Am  C  D  Am
        C  D  C 
        D  G  Em
 
[First Part]

G
Hear them riding, baby
                        Em
Hear them coming around my door (oh no)
G
Light's been out, though, baby
                      Em
And I've been long, long gone (yeehaw)
C                          D                   G
I'm keen to play with fire, but now I'm not so sure
 
[Chorus]

Em
Racing down the road that I've been before
 
I've seen rattlesnakes behind every door
G
I've been around this world and now everything's a bore
Em
I don't know that much, but I know about keeping score
C
And if there's one thing I know for sure
D                                               G
It'd be a long cold day in Hell when I take you back
 
( Em )
 
[Second Part]

G
Can you hear the horses, baby?
                   Em
Stronger than an iron hoof
C
But this town has always bored me
D                        G
And baby, that's including you
 
( Am  C  D  Am )
( C  D  C )
( D  G  Em )
 
[Chorus]

Em
Racing down the road that I've been before
 
I've seen rattlesnakes behind every door
G
I've been around this world and it's rotten to the core
Em
Yeah, I don't know that much, but I know about keeping score
C
I got a face of gold, I got a heart of coal
D
But baby, that's my cross to bear
G
I won't take you back
 
( Em )

                 G    Em
I won't take you back
                 G    Em
I won't take you back
                 G    Em
I won't take you back
                 G    Em
I won't take you back
                 G    Em
I won't take you back
                 G    Em
I won't take you back
