[Intro]
A7 D

[Chorus]
D G
I never had the one that I wanted
A7 D
Never wanted the one that I had
G
For the one that I had was a good girl
A7 D
And the one that I wanted was bad

[Verse 1]
D G D
They say that the grass always looks greener
A7
And I guess that's the nature of a man
D D7 G
To let passion have its way, never thinking what he'll pay
A7 D
And it's hard, oh, ain't it hard to understand?

[Chorus]
D G
I never had the one that I wanted
A7 D
Never wanted the one that I had
G
For the one that I had was a good girl
A7 D
And the one that I wanted was bad

[Slide Guitar Solo]
D G
A7 D

[Verse 2]
D G D
What makes a man want to flirt with danger
A7
Like a child that's playing with a fire?
D D7 G
Must the most luscious peach be always out of reach
A7 D
And the things you can't have you desire?
