| I saw you leave the | bar last night with some | fine and dandy | man |
| D | Bm | Gm | Em | |
| I heard from one of your | buddies that he | asked you for your | hand. |
| Bm | A | Gm | Em | |
| He asked you for your | hand but he don't | fit you like a | glove |
| I'd walk over hot coals, just to win your love. |

| They call me good for | nothing, and | they call me "worthless | jerk" |
| D | Bm | Gm | Em | |
| They call me in the | morning when I | don't show up for | work. |
| Bm | A | Gm | Em | |
| But I don't think they | understand, I got | better things to | do. |
| I'm walking over hot coals, darling, just for you |
| I'm walking over hot coals, darling, just for you |

| Whe | n I'm out of | ci | garettes, I think the whole thing is so cruel |
| Ain't no piece of cake life ain't dishin out |
| Nothing that my heart can't take |
| D | Bm | Gm | Em | |
| Some boys might fix your | car and | take you out to | eat |
| D | Bm | Gm | Em | |
| But some boys might play | guitar and | sing a song so | sweet |
| Bm | A | Gm | Em | |
| But that's all good and | proper but | it's not really my | style. |
| I'm walking over hot coals, darling, just for you |
