G                                                     G7 
You wonder why I'm gone so much and come home late at night 

      C                                   G               D7 
While you sit there and swear the way I'm living can't be right 

   G                                              G7 
It seems to bring you joy serene to nag me to the ground 

        C               G              D7             G 
So I'll be out drinking pick me ups so you can put me down 


                                                       G7 
You've never tried to look inside and find the good in me 

    C                               G                  D7 
How could you know I love you so my faults are all you see 

    G                                           G7 
The only time I feel at home is when I'm on the town 

        C               G              D7             G 
So I'll be out drinking pick me ups so you can put me down 


   C              G                  D7            G 
It wouldn't do to cheat on you and I wouldn't if I could 

     C                   G             A7                   D7 
This heart of mine won't let my mind believe that you're no good 

     G                                                G7 
I'll just play dumb until they come and put me in the ground 

     C               G                 D7               G 
Then I won't need no pick me ups cause you can't put me down 

   C                G                 D7               G 
No I won't need the pick me ups cause you can't put me down
