[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
Am C D C D G

[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

[Outro]
                 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
