Intro: A E F#m
A E F#m
You never smiled at my opening line
A E F#m
If I remember it right well you might have been cyrin'
B5 E
I didn't know you but I thought it was time
A E F#m
You didn't ask to know what I was thinkin'
A E F#m
I know it was late and I might have been drinkin'
B5
When my passion welled up
B5
And I readied my aim
B5 E
I didn't know my own name
A E
I was loaded, loaded
A D
I have to say I was loaded
A E F#m
You shied away but I hunted you down
A E F#m
The truth is a bully and it'll slap you around
B5
I know it can be
B5
A pretty rough ride
B5 E
When my true heart's kickin' my side
A E
I was loaded, loaded
A D
Proud to say I was loaded
A
Sometimes the tip of my tongue
E
Is the barrel of a gun
D A
And it's loaded
A E F#m
All alone on my knee with my dreams of the past
A E F#m
But my aim is till true and my draw is still fast
B5
My heart pulls the trigger
B5
It doesn't wait
B5 E
Who wants a heart that hesitates
A E
I was loaded, loaded
A D
Have to say I was loaded
A E
Sometimes the tip of my tongue is the barrel of a gun
D A E
And it's loaded
A
Yeah the tip of my tongue
E
Is the barrel of a gun
D A
And it's loaded
