(Intro): A A A A
A
I was getting kinda tired
A
Of her endless chatter
A
Nothing I could say
A
Ever seemed to matter
D
So I took a little drive
D
Just to clear my head
A A
I saw a flashing neon up ahead
E
It looked like a place
E
To find some satisfaction
A(play first note only; then Rest)
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
A
I paid the man at the door
A
And pushed my way to the bar
A
Shouted for a drink
A
Over a screaming guitar
D
A drunk on a stool
D
Tried to mess with my head
A
But I didn't even listen
A
To a word he said
E
I knew somewhere
E
Amid all this distraction
A(repeat of first note...)
Was a little less talk
And a lot more action
(Chorus)
D
A little less talk
D
If you please
A
A lot more loving
A
Is what I need
E
Let's get on down
E
To the main attraction
A(first note...)
With a little less talk
And a lot more action
A
Well she was fighting them off
A
At a corner table
A
She had a longneck bottle
A
She was peeling the label
D
The look on her face
D
It was perfectly clear
A
She said somebody please
A
Get me out of here
E
The look she shot me
E
Through the glass refraction
A(first note...)
Said a little less talk
And a lot more action
(Chorus)
