This song took me forever to figure out! But I garauntee you it is correct!
It seems easy but the way Chris sings the song it sounds like your changing keys
when your not. This song is fast and heavy. So enjoy!!!!

E
There used to be a time candlelight and wine
A
Was all that a woman would need
B
Man you were a winner if you took her out to dinner
E
Or a movie she wanted to see
But the world has turned and it's time you learned
A
That the old ain't working no more
B
Yeah the rules have changed it's a brand new game
E E E E
And buddy if you want to score
CHORUS
A
You've for to get off the couch
Get out of the house
E
Long about Friday night
A
Shine up your boots
F#
Polish up your moves
B B G
If you want to keep her satisfied
E
Oh a little bump and grind'll
Do it every time
A
If you want to keep your little girl
E
But you don't stand a chance
A
'Less you take her out and dance
B E
Cause we're living in a honky tonk world
(VERSE 2 SAME AS ONE)
Sooner or later all you couch potatoes
Are gonna be the lonely ones
If you want good lovin' then you gotta keep up
And you better know your Brook's from your Dunn's
Don't even think that your Englebert Humperdink record's gonna turn her on
Cause mister you can bet if you don't know the steps
Then you're gonna get left at home
REPEAT CHORUS
