G
I,ve always been the kind of man
       D7
Who Doesn,t believe in strings
Em
Long term obligations 
         B7
Are just unnecessary things
    C                  D7
But girl you,ve got me thinking
          B7                Em
While I,m drinking one more beer
       A7
If I,m headed for a heartache
             Am        D7
Then why the hell am I still here

   [Verse 2]
    G
I,m testing my resistance
         D7
And it,s wearing mighty thin
Em
I,ve got the feeling I should leave
  B7
Before the roof caves in
   C                D7
My mind tells me to move along
       B7           Em
But my body begs me stay
          A7
And now I feel the need to hold you close
    Am             D7
And love the night away
N.C.      
While you,re turning me


   [CHORUS]
C
Every which way but loose you turn me
G
Every which way but loose
   D7                               G
Inside the fire is burning me in my mind
                      G7
You just keep turning me
C
Every which way but loose
G                      E7
Baby there,s no excuse to turn me
Am          D7      C
Every which way but loose

   [Verse 3]
              G
When the sun comes up in the morning
          D7
It should find us someplace new
    Em
But right this minute all I want
      B7
Is to lay here next to you
      C                   D7
Those memories still keep calling me
     B7              Em
From somewhere in my past
       A7
Better hurry if they want me
            Am             D7
Cause I can feel me fading fast
N.C.      
While you,re turning me
         
    
   [CHORUS]
C
Every which way but loose you turn me
G
Every which way but loose
   D7                               G
Inside the fire is burning me in my mind
                      G7
You just keep turning me
C
Every which way but loose
G                      E7
Baby there,s no excuse to turn me
Am          D7      C               G
Every which way but loose
