  			Intro: G D Em7 Cadd9 

verse 1 
G                                      D 
I bet you thought I was a better man, now you know the truth 
               Em7                                                Cadd9 
I've been out singing the songs about the wrong outcome guess it finally got through to you 
    G                                      D 
She left her stain on the linens I really thought you would never tell 
     Em7                                       Cadd9 
No I don't expect to be forgiven cause I'm so wrapped up in myself 


        D                                                      Em7 
And I deserve everything for all the work I've done even if I lose everybody that I've ever loved 
          Cadd9                                    G 
They just don't understand what it takes to be me 
            D                                                          Em7 
And I don't know who they are but I will prove them wrong probably my friends I'm suspicious of everyone 
        Cadd9 
I would give anything just for them to see what it takes to be me 

G D Em7 Cadd9 

verse 2 
        G                              D 
I don't know who I am anymore tell me what have I become 
         Em7                                                           Cadd9 
There is something I discovered that attracts lots of lovers while my wife and kids are home 
      G                                             D 
You'd think I'd learn my lesson yeah you'd think I'd stop running around 
       Em7                                Cadd9 
Oh but every time that it happens I tell myself that they'll never find out 


        D                                                      Em7 
And I deserve everything for all the work I've done even if I lose everybody that I've ever loved 
          Cadd9                                    G 
They just don't understand what it takes to be me 
            D                                                          Em7 
And I don't know who they are but I will prove them wrong probably my friends I'm suspicious of everyone 
        Cadd9 
I would give anything just for them to see what it takes to be me
