Intro: (E) (E) (E) (E)
Have you (E) ever looked down in the bottom of a coffee cup
And dis(A)covered that you got reason staying (E) up
(B) Right at the moment when
The caffine's kickin' (No Chord) in
So you (E) break down and give an old girlfriend a call
Then (A) after two hours of hearing her mindless (E) talk
You (B) remember what you dumped her for
And you wish you hadn't opened that (E) door
(Chorus)
I do it and I (E) don't know why
Hate to admit it but I think that I
Got something rollin' round (A) loose inside
That never was (E) screwed down tight
No I (B) don't know why I do it
But I do it all the (E) time
Have you (E) ever worked hard to line your pockets with dough
Then (A) let a little girl and love start burning a (E) hole
(B) Knowing that she'll break your heart
And max out your credit (E) cards
(Chorus)
(Piano Solo)
(Steel Guitar Solo)
Have you (E) ever fallin' for a girl thinkin' she's the one
And you (A) get a funny feeling that your ramblin' days are (E) done
You can (B) tell she loves you so much
That you have to go and screw it (No Chord) up
(Chorus)
I (E) do it, I do it, I (No Chord) do it
I do it, and I (E) don't know why
I got a habit of wreckin' my life
Keep leaning left when I (A) want to go right
You know it isn't like I (E) haven't tried
I (B) don't know why I do it
But I do it all the (E) time
I (B) don't know why I do it
But I do it all the (E) time
