Intro: E    A    E    B7    E (x2)

(Verse 1.)
E                        A
Her hair is red and her eyes are green
E                          B7
Sheâs soft and tender but she can be mean
E                                    A
She knows what it takes to keep me right on track
E                                         E7
ÎCause when it comes to lovinâ she donât hold nothinâ back

(Chorus 1)
           A
When she loves me sheâs nearly out of control
           E
When she loves me it comes from deep in her soul
           A
When she loves me I know sheâs all mine
     B7                    A                  E
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line

(Verse 2)

Out honky-tonkinâ where the lights are down low

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



She always asks the man to play something real slow
But when we get home I know sheâll pick the slack
ÎCause when it comes to lovinâ she donât hold nothinâ back

(Chorus 2)

When she loves me itâs the things that she says
When she loves me Iâm way out on the edge
When she loves me I lose track of time
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line

(Bridge)
A
My baby taught me something everybody should learn
              E
When youâre playinâ with fire itâs all right to get burned
F#
It really donât matter if you lose or you win
     B7
The only way to do it is get out on that limb

(Instrumental)
(Repeat Chorus 1)
     B7                    A                  E
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line
