[Verse 1]

Well the outlaws sleep with one eye open

And they dress their hearts in marble stone

It never sinks away when you're used to living on your own

And the good girls sing in major key

And they speak with cadence

Warm and sweet

[Pre Chorus]

But like the thorns and thunderstorms

That break before the flowers in spring

The rain comes down

You move your mouth

The truth is out

You're just like me

[Chorus]

But it's rhyme and reason

It's tried and true

You'vе got me

And I've got you

Ain't that true

Win or losе

[Verse 2]

And my memories leave a nasty scar

And my darkest deeds will black out the stars

I always knew the things I do

Would scratch and bruise on someone's heart

I'm nothing more than losing score

And minor chords on this guitar

[Chorus]

But it's rhyme and reason

It's tried and true

You've got me

And I've got you

Ain't that true

Win or lose

[Chorus 2]

And even when things don't

Go my way

I know I'll always

Hear you say

I love you

Win or lose

[Outro]

Well it's rhyme and reason

It's tried and true

You've got me

And I've got you

Ain't that true
