Intro: C F  C F  C F  G Bb / C F  C F  C F  G  Bb  Eb  Bb  C

C         F           C     F         C            F       Bb
If you start me up, If you start me up I'll never stop
you can start me up, you can start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot, You got me just about to blow my top
        C.     F            C   F                     Bb
You can start me up, you can start me up, I'll never stop, never stop, never stop

 

C                               F            C                               F      Eb Bb  C
You make a grown man cry, You make a grown man cry
C                               F      Eb   Bb  C  C           F            C         C
You make a grown man cry,              Spread out the oil, the gasoline
            C                                      F       C
I walk smooth ride in a mean, mean machine

you can start me up, Kick on the starter, give it all you've got (you got, you got)
I can't compete, With the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up, If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up, Slide it up, slide it up

 

Don't make a grown man cry, Don't make a grown man cry
Don't make a grown man cry, My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy, she's a mean, mean machine

Start me up, Ah, you've got to, you've got to, Never, never, never stop
Start it up,  Ah, start it up, never, never, never

 

You make a grown man cry, You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry         Ride like the wind, at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen

 


If you start it up, Love the day when we will never stop  Never stop, never, never, never stop

C       F   C     F   C  F    Bb
Touch me up Never stop, never stop

C                                                F
You, you, you make a grown man cry
C   F     C  F        C         F       Bb D  C
You, you make a dead man come,
C  F        C      F          C        F     Bb
You, you, you make a dead man come
