[Lyrics]
Smilin' face and laughin' eyes
But ya can't keep on tellin' me all those lies
How'd you expect me to believe
Honey I ain't that naive
Baby I got my eye on you
Cause you do all the things I want you to
Stop your cryin' and dry your tears
I ain't that wet behind the ears
 
You can throw me lefts, you can throw me rights
But where was you last night
Beatin' around the bush
 
Wish I knew what was on your mind
Why you bein' so unkind
Remember those nights we spent alone
Talkin' on the telephone
Thoughts of you goin' through my brain
You told me that you felt the same
You said that you loved me too
But tell me who was there with you
 
I was talkin' birds, and you was talkin' bees
And was he down on his knees
Beatin' around the bush
 
You're the meanest woman I've ever known
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
I know what you're looking for
You've eaten your cake you want some more
I'm gonna give you just a one more change
Try to save our romance
I've done everything I'm gonna do
The rest is up to you
 
And you can chew it up, you can spit it out
You can let it all hang out
Beatin' around the bush
 
And you can chew it up, you can spit it out
You can let it all hang out
Beatin' around the bush

i just tried it out on my guitar, and sorry but its totally wrong. the guy who tried the fraction thing is almost right too. trevonator is wrong the most tho:P here's the right one: D-----------0------------h--0--p-p------------2--------- A-----0-1-2-----------0-1-2---2-1-0--p---p----2-(upstroke) E-0-3---------x2--0-3---------------3-0-3-0-0-0--------- D--------h--0--p-p------2------------------------------- A-----0-1-2---2-1-0-----2-(upstroke)-------------------- E-0-3---------------3-0-0------------------------------- trust me man. i play with backseat confidential (cause its in closer tuning) and they are the same riffs, they just start off differently at the beginning of the songs.

SG_man's version is right! And this song is tuned down a quarter step or something - like Highway to Hell ;-)
