Well it's Saturday night You're all dressed up in blue I been watching you awhile 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-lookin' Joe, on their arm Some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo Well 'round 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 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 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
You could have added that this song was written by Bruce Springsteen. Thank you John Mayer for honoring one of the best songwriters in American history.
Great performance, but the real story is just how freaking amazing this song still is. One of the best songs Springsteen ever wrote, which is saying a lot.
I've been saying this for years John Has so many Good unreleased tracks, Covers, live versions etc he should release all this as box set or special editions or maybe compilations! I'm a die hard fan of his covers!
It may sound a little silly, but after listening to this for the 100th time, I realized he’s on the stage completely alone with his guitar and his harmonica. Singing his heart out and absolutely nailing it.
Chords: (I think) Capo on 5 Start with a C chord and hammer on/off the d string Then walk down F chord (3-2-open on the d string) and Then a G chord After G chord play d string open-2-3-3 3-2-open-2-open A string 3 fret E string 3 fret Back to G chord Repeat
John Mayer is a legend. Top guitarist, great vocals, wonderful song writer. He improves a song when he covers it, love his cover of free fallin' too. One of the best gigs I've been to.
Thank you so very much for sharing this for those of with oceans between us 💜 How lovely! I just fell in love with this song by the Boss and John all over again simultaneously 😍😘💙🎈🎁🎉🎶🎸⚡🌠🍁 Happiest of 42nd birthdays to you, handsome Johnny! I'm ready whenever you are 😉 Just sayin' 🙏💜😍
Check out Shawn Colvin's cover of this same song. John is one of my all-time favorite singer-songwriters, though I prefer Shawn's version: ua-cam.com/video/PceRAJ_K27I/v-deo.html Saw Shawn do this live at a private show at Rockwood Music Hall on NYC's Lower East Side a few years ago.
Live music doesn't work like that. This is his version just for fun at a certain time. Keeping momentum and playing a more joyful version for the mood.
Well it's Saturday night
You're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
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-lookin' Joe, on their arm
Some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well 'round 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
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
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

This and Fire live are my absolute favorites. Bruce Forever ❤
Agreed. One of Springsteen's all-time best.
Maybe the best love song ever written, a true piece of art
I’m a huge Springsteen fan and JM absolutely crushed this. Beautiful and moving acoustic version. Right up there with Free Falling.
One of the best gigs i've been at in the longest time - apologies Bruce Springsteen, my ultimate hero!!!!
One of Bruce’s best songs.
John did a great job.

One of my favorite songs from the boss. Absolutely stunning and happy birthday JM!
Great cover of one Springsteen's many brilliant songs.
this was my highlight of the night, what a show
This is one of my favorite songs...I'm nervous...ok, he's killing it. John, you did Bruce good.
So much talent in just one person...
Well…actually two. You’ve forgotten, or maybe you didn’t know, the songwriter, Mr. Bruce Springsteen.❤️
Simply fantastic💛
One of Springsteen's best and John owned it.
Thank you for posting.
Who says the perfect match doesn't exist? In love with this ❤️
Guitar players are ten to the dozen but his voice is his greatest instrument. Beautifully done.
MY FAVORITE SPRINGSTEEN SONG EVER!
Chords: (I think)
Capo on 5
Start with a C chord and hammer on/off the d string
Then walk down F chord (3-2-open on the d string) and
Then a G chord
After G chord play d string open-2-3-3
3-2-open-2-open
A string 3 fret
E string 3 fret
Back to G chord
Repeat
Chris Rabideau what key is the harmonica though
@@stephenbaird6822 C major diatonic

This hits different after listening to Last Train Home.
I wish he'd do a mashup once his own live concert rolls
I love this song💕
It is also Jack Antonoff from Fun. Favorite song as well. On Apple Radio he discussed his favorite songs, it was first on the list.
I didn’t get to record this myself last night so the fact you captured it is fantastic😂👌🏻. I loved this version!!
Thanks for uploading brillant version
My favourite song
Nailed it!

I loved this lol
PS - I adore it when you play the harmonica too 💙🙏🎶🎸🎧🎉🌠
Tunnel of love is the best album!! This is the 2nd best song on it...
Tunnel of Love was Bruce's last record up to his extremely high standards.
Ghost of Tom joad has some incredibly beautiful songs, a lot of them are like short stories
Naam Simran = Jodnrinjen Onkar Rarankar Sohang Sat Naam 🙏⚜️🙏
Bruuuuuuuce
BRUUCE !!!
F***ing awesome
I hope he comes to India...
Bruce would be smiling and probably say John you own this one now
Springsteen is still alive, just so you know
Lol
he's most definately not saying that lol
Lol
Check out Chris Ledoux’s cover of this I always loved this tune
Thanks man
Longer version/Better view...
ua-cam.com/video/KZP5RsrE6cQ/v-deo.html
Hey just wondering if anyone would have the chords for the way he plays it in this video, cheers
It’s pretty easy. Capo on 5th fret. C/g/f. Am/f/c bridge
This is great, Cher’s cover is great too
Check out Shawn Colvin's cover of this same song.
John is one of my all-time favorite singer-songwriters, though I prefer Shawn's version:

Some acoustic guitar playing........
Just havin fun with a campfire version of one of his favorites while playing on his birthday..
Hilarious how no one knows the song
I did, I was just in total awe, it was so beautiful ❤️
It was just that kind of performance - one where you stay silent and soak it all up!
Not bad.
Do you even watch concerts instead of filming?
Yet here you are watching a video of a concert I filmed...
Cant get used to this song bing sung in a higher register. Doesnt sound tough at all.
Very close to the original. But still very, very good! Not at all worse than the original. Could well be the other way around.
Can a song make you pregnant
ahhhh cant do it, dont like this guy never did.
Don’t even know it’s Springsteen. Smdh.
The guitar playing is too fast
Live music doesn't work like that. This is his version just for fun at a certain time. Keeping momentum and playing a more joyful version for the mood.
Not very good! Try 'Midlands' version, its far better.
Better than Bruce.
Scott Strissel , are you having a laugh , mate ?
Oh hell no
Watch his performance of this song on Springsteen on Broadway and get back to me.
Mayer fan boy much? Or is it a lot of drugs?
Fud
One of maybe six good songs from Springsteen......so overrated
MrThomasv lmao, how about no
Bruce over rated? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
There's like 8 good songs just on the born to run album.
