Pick 'em Up And Lay 'em Down

• Em

 
Capo 2 fret 
 
************* 
 
 
Intro:  Em  C D  (2x) 
 
 
Verse 1: 
 
Em 
She said the man's goin' home with me 
 
D 
She told the bar she was takin' all bets 
 
Em 
Well never trust a woman drinkin' whiskey 
 
     D                   
That lights her own cigarette 
 
G                           D 
    I started callin' her baby, temptation was drivin' me wild 
 
G                                        
   I think the only thing that saved me 
 
D 
   It's just not my style 
 G                  C                D               
'Cause I'm not the kind of man that goes out just lookin' for a woman 
 
G          C                     D           
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground 
 
G           C                D 
I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin' 
 
G      C             D 
I'm as lonely as any man around 
 
                                                    Em  
I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down 
 
C       D        
Lay 'em down 
 
 
Pick 'em up and lay 'em down 
 
 
Riff:  Em  C D 
 
   
Verse 2: 
 
                Em                 
So we went from bottoms up to coffee cups 
 
D 
A corner booth where the lights got dim 
 
Em 
We started talkin' 'bout gettin' real close 
 
D 
About how, and about when 
 
G 
It started rainin' harder and harder 
 
D 
  I got up and with a thoughtful smile 
 
G 
  I said, "Honey, if that ain't thunder and lightnin' 
 
D 
  It just ain't worthwhile" 
 G           C                D               
I'm not the kind of man that goes out just lookin' for a woman 
 
G          C                     D           
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground 
 
G           C                D 
I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin' 
 
G      C             D 
I'm as lonely as any man around 
 
                                                    Em  
I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down 
 
C       D        
Lay 'em down, down, down, down, down 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
G 
I turned around and gave her one last smile 
 
D 
And thought about one long kiss 
 
G 
But that would be takin' it too far baby 
 
D 
And maybe something I couldn't resist 
G           C                D               
I'm not the kind of man that goes out just lookin' for a woman 
 
G          C                     D           
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground 
 
G           C                D 
I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin' 
 
G      C             D 
I'm as lonely as any man around 
 
                                                    Em  
I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down 
 
C       D 
Lay 'em down 
 
                               Em 
Pick 'em up and lay 'em down 
 
C       D 
Lay 'em down 
 
 
 
 
Outro:    (Repeat Intro throughout) 
 
  
If it ain't about thunder and lightnin' 
 
 
It just ain't worthwhile 
 
 
Lord knows it just ain't my style 
 
 
Pick 'em up and lay 'em down, down, down, down, down 
 
 
Pick 'em up and lay 'em down
