Tougher Than the Rest 1988 (live version / The Album version is in F * see below) chords
Bruce Springsteen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tougher_Than_the_Rest
G C D C G D 2x
Well it's Saturday night,
you're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you a while,
maybe you been watching me too
So somebody ran out,
left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're looking for love,
honey, I'm tougher than the rest
Some girls they want a handsome Dan,
or some good looking Joe
On their arms some girls like a sweet talking Romeo
Well around here baby,
I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love,
honey, I'm tougher than the rest
The road is dark,
and it's a thin, thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time
Maybe your other boyfriends,
Couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love,
honey, I'm tougher than the rest
G C D C G D 2x
The road is dark,
and it's a thin, thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time
Maybe your other boyfriends,
Couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love,
honey, I'm tougher than the rest
Well it ain't no secret,
I've been around a time or two
Well I don't know baby maybe you've been around too
Well there's another dance, (honey)
all you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love,
honey, I'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love,
baby, I'm tougher than the rest
