E
Down in Beaumont, they're two-steppin' 
E
Out in Bakersfield it's a honky tonk heaven 
  A                                                E
I hear the coast of Carolina, they still twist and shout 
     B                   A              B         E 
This Okie dance floor is jumpin', let's figure it out

There's a whole lot that I don't understand 
Like how the MC squared between a woman and a man 
Makes enough electricity to light up Tulsa downtown 
But baby, we could spend a couple hours trying to figure it out 


Chorus:
                     A
Trying to figure out what was going on between Adam and Eve 
E                      
Johnny and June, James Dean and Natalie 
    A
The who and why and what about a thing called love 
        B
How you got to break it in before it fits you like a glove 
        E                                                    A
I got a couple thousand questions I been meaning to ask you about 
          B   
And we've got a little time to kill 
A           B         E
Baby, let's figure it out. 


Acoustic Solo

Chorus 2:
Trying to figure out what was going on between Adam and Eve 
Johnny and June, Priscilla and the King 
The who and why and what about a thing called love 
How you got to break it in before it fits you like a glove. 


Well, love will take you high or it will leave you real low 
You can stir it into magic, if you stir it kinda slow 
It's the chemistry that's in between you and me I'm talking about 
And we've got a little time to kill 
Honey, let's figure it out 

Baby ain't no telling how long it takes to figure it out
