[Verse 1]
A
This truck needs a half tank
E
These wheels need a two-lane
F#m
This radio needs three songs to play
D
To get me 'cross town to you
A
That dress needs to slip off
E
That hair needs to come down
F#m
Friday nights need to do
D
What Friday nights need to do
PAUSE
That's the truth
[Chorus]
A
Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
E
Boys like me need the girls like you to kiss me
F#m
"Fishin' in the Dark" needs Nitty Gritty
D
Under that pale moon.
A
Sweet tea needs that sugar stirrin'
E
Small town nights need both ends burnin'
D
Shades need drawin', hearts need fallin'
PAUSE
Boots need knockin',
A
knockin' boots
E
Knockin' boots,
F#m D
me and you, o------h
[Verse 2]
A
Long weeks need a weekend
E
Cheap drinks need a-slingin'
F#m
That dance floor needs some me on you
D
And you want me tonight
A
Singalongs need to be sung
E
Tip bells need to be rung
F#m
Last calls need a call that cab
D
And backseats need I want you so bad
[Chorus]
A
Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
E
Boys like me need the girls like you to kiss me
F#m
"Fishin' in the Dark" needs Nitty Gritty

Under that pale moon
A
Sweet tea needs that sugar stirrin'
E
Small town nights need both ends burnin'
D
Shades need drawin', hearts need fallin'
PAUSE
Boots need knockin',
