Don~t get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me
Am
Go
F
Yeah, go
But remember
C Am
Good love is hard to find
C Am
Good love is hard to find
F
You got lucky, babe
G
You got lucky, babe
(Intro chords)
When I found you

(Intro chords)
You put an end on my tear
And then you turn your eyes away
If you don~t feel complete
If I don~t take you all of the way
Am
Then go,
F
Yeah, go,
But remember
C Am
Good love is hard to find
C Am
Good love is hard to find
F
You got lucky, babe
G
You got lucky, babe
(Intro chords)
When I found you


The guitar solo is (during the intro chords):
