Verse 2:
    D [guitar stops, bass keeps playing]
Life is too short so love the one ya got 

'cause you might get run over or ya might get shot

       D                           G
you'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Chorus: [In this chorus you play the GUITAR-SOLO (above) again while the singer is singing]

D       G           D
Loving,   is what I got
         G
I said remember that
D       G           D
Loving,   is what I got
         G
I said remember that

(After the chorus come some weird sounds that I don't know how to play. Just let the guitar be silent and let the bass play 'D  G' 4 times)

Verse 3:
D                G
I don't cry when my dog runs away
D                         G

Hits the bottle and goes back to the rock
D                  G
Fuck it, fight it, it's all the same
D                                G
Living with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane
D               G                   D   [guitar stop, weird sound]
Let the loving, let the loving come back to me

Chorus: (no guitar solo in this chorus)
D       G           D
Loving,   is what I got
         G
I said remember that
D       G           D
Loving,   is what I got
         G
I said remember that

Outro:
D [strum once, then stop]
Loving,   is what I got

I said remember that
D [strum once, then stop]
Loving,   is what I got

I said remember that

(the rest of the outro is just repeating the chorus like usual many times, but there's a lot of picking in it that I've transcribed below)

     D        G        D        G        D       G       D    G
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------

G|------7--------7--------7--------7---------------------------------
D|---------7--------7--------7--------7------------------------------
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------

    D      G      D    G        D        G        D [chords stop]
E---------------------------------------------------------------|
B---3---1-1-0--------------0------7--------7--------7----------|
G-----------------2-2----2------2-----7--------7----------------|
D----------------------------------------7--------7-------------|

E---------------------------------------------------------------|
                                           "...I got, I got, I got..."

Then comes a distorted electric guitar that plays this:
     D       G     D      G      D       G      D     G     D
E|---------------------------------------------------8---7-7-5-------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------7b8-7---------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------7---|
A|---5---------------------------------5-------------------------5---|
E|---------8-8-7-5-5----7-8--7-5-------------------------------------|
