I wanted to play this song like they do live, in a lot of their acoustic bar 
performances. It's a little loose on structure but very similar to Version 2, 
which is played in C. Didn't feel like hitting transpose button every time.

[Verse 1]

             
Welllll, she w

        
as standing in

 the bar
             
I said, "Hello

      
, how do you d

o?"
             
She handed me 

             
a beer with a 

         
kangaroo

             
She spoke of p

             
laces I had ne

     
ver been
              
That she had t


raveled to
             
And we slowed 

             
danced along t

               
o faster tunes

             
I made her lau

              
gh, I made a p

             
ass, I showed 

              
her my half do

      
llar ring
              
She said, "Tha

            
t's pretty coo

l,
             
But classy gir

             
ls don't kiss 

              
in bars, you f

     
ool"


[Interlude] (Picking ends here and strumming starts): 
      


[Verse 2]

             
So later on th

  
e crowd calmed

 down
             
And I believe 

   
it was as if
             
Something drew

             
 me closer to 

         
her lips

             
So picture my 

             
surprise when 

             
I had tried to

         
 lean in for a

 kiss
             
And she just s

             
miled and turn

              
ed her head do

      
wn

   
I asked her, "

Why?" and she 

replied,
             
"It was nothin

              
g I was doing 

             
wrong, its jus

           
t what it is"
             
No, classy gir

             
ls don't kiss 

              
in bars like t

   
his


[Chorus]

             
No, classy gir

         
ls don't kiss 

in bars
             
Boys will brea

         
k their backs 

and hearts
             
But its alrigh

             
t, the hardest

             
 part is throu

gh

[Outro]

              
Oh it's throug

 
h
              
Oh it's throug

 
h
              
Oh it's throug

The hardest pa
