Capo 2

        D                                G  
Well it really tears me up when I hear a hurtin' song
    D                                 A
And I'm someone who likes a good cold beer
D                             G
Baby's gone and after hurtin' all day long
   A                               D 
My heart feels the need to come in here


Chorus:
             D                            G
Cause I need soft lights and hard country music
      G                D       E7                 A  
Those cheatin' songs assure me that her leaving's real
       D                            G 
I need soft lights and hard country music
  G                 D                 A            D
A steel guitar in a dim lit bar knows exactly how I feel


Change key to D# (up ½ step)

Well the tempo's up the lights're low and I'm a gettin' down
With that woman that I met in here last night
She's hurtin' like I am and we don't give a damn
So play that country music and keep it tight

Chorus

A steel guitar in a dimly bar knows exactly how I feel
