Well, Heavy was on cable at 5:30 am so i taped it, and they actually showed Evan
playing some of this song.. so, here it is.. i'm not sure about the chorus
because darn Liv Tyler wasn't paying attention so he stopped before he got to that 
part..

Intro:  Em(7th) A(5th) (x3)  D(add9)	
	Em(7th) A(5th) (x3)  Em7*  A

D                  F#m                       G               A
I saw you leave the bar last night with some fine and dandy man
D                        F#m              G                 Em
I heard from one of your buddies that he asked you for your hand.
Bm                    F#m                G             Em7
He asked you for your hand but he don't fit you like a glove

 Em      A   Asus4 A     A	 A(add9)  D	
I'd walk over hot coals, just to win your love.


[Em / A  progression (once)]


D                     F#m           G                      A 
They call me good for nothing, and they call me "worthless jerk"
D                   F#m            G                 Em
They call me in the morning when I don't show up for work.
Bm                     F#m                G               Em7
But I don't think they understand, I got better things to do.

    Em	    A	Asus4 A     A(add9)  A        D	
I'm walking over hot coals, darling, just for you
    Em	    A	Asus4 A     A(add9)  A        Em (7th)  
I'm walking over hot coals, darling, just for you

Em (7th)         A (5th)	    	    D	           A   Em
To get along in this old world, it takes a cutthroat or a fool
Em (7th)          A (5th)                D                G7
When I'm out of cigarettes, I think the whole thing is so cruel

Em			F#m
Ain't no piece of cake life ain't dishin out
G			     A
Nothing that my heart can't take

D               F#m      	 G               A
Some boys might fix your car and take you out to eat
D                   F#m             G              Em
But some boys might play guitar and sing a song so sweet
    Bm                  F#m             G             Em7
But that's all good and proper but it's really not my style.

 Em	  A   Asus4 A     A(add9) A       D
I'll walk over hot coals, just to see you smile
 Em	  A   Asus4 A     A(add9) A       Em(7th)
I'll walk over hot coals, just to see you smile
