Every which way but loose (video)

G D

1. I’ve always been the kind of man, who doesn’t believe in strings,

Em B7

long term obligations, are just unnecessary things.

C D B7 Em

But girl you’ve got me thinkin’, while I’m drinking one more beer,

A A7 Am D

if I’m headed for a heartache, then why the hell am I still here.

G D

2. I’m testing my resistance, and it’s wearing mighty thin,

Em B7

I’ve got the feeling I should leave, before the roof caves in.

C D B7 Em

My mind tells me to move along, but my body begs me stay,

A A7 Am D

and now I feel the need to hold you close, and love the night away.

D7

While you’re turning me ...

C G

Every which way, but loose, you turn me every which way, but loose,

D G Em G G7

inside the fire is burning me, in my mind, you just keep turning me

C G E

every which way, but loose, baby, there’s no excuse,

Am D G - D

to turn me every which way but loose.

3. When the sun comes up in the morning,

D

it should find us someplace new,

Em B7

but right this minute all I want, is to lay here next to you.

C D B7 Em

Those memories still keep calling me from somewhere in my past.

A A7 Am D

better hurry, if they want me, ‘cause I can feel me fading fast.

D7

While you’re turning me....

C G

Every which way, but loose, you turn me every which way, but loose,

D G Em G G7

inside the fire is burning me, in my mind, you just keep turning me

C G E

every which way, but loose, baby, there’s no excuse,

Am D C - G

to turn me every which way but loose.
