Verse 1
G                      Csus2
Seems the further from town I go

Dsus2        Csus2       G
The more I hate this place

G                    Csus2
He's got leather and big tattoos

Dsus2                  Em
Scars all over his face

      C
And I wonder if he ever has cried

         Cm
Cause he couldn't get a date for the prom


Chorus
G            Em         Csus2           G
He's got his arm around every man's dream

G             Em             Csus2       Dsus2
Crumbs in his beard from the seafood special

G                   Em       C       Cm
Oh can't you see my world is falling apart

      G               Dsus2                Csus2
Baby please leave the biker, leave the biker

          G
Break his heart

     G                Dsus2                Csus2
Baby please leave the biker, leave the biker

          G
Break his heart

Verse 2
G                      Csus2
Now his friend leans over and says

Dsus2             Csus2        G
Looks like we got us a fag

G                      Csus2
I wonder if that guy's read one word

Dsus2                      Em
That wasn't in a porno mag

C
And I wonder if he ever has cried

          Cm
Cause his kitten got run over and died

G            Em         Csus2           G
He's got his arm around every man's dream

G             Em             Csus2       Dsus2
Crumbs in his beard from the seafood special

G                Em          C       Cm
Oh can't you see my world is falling apart

     G                Dsus2                Csus2
Baby please leave the biker, leave the biker

          G
Break his heart

     G                Dsus2                Csus2
Baby please leave the biker, leave the biker

          G
Break his heart

Break

Break his heart...
