GYou wonder why I'm gone so much and come home late at G7night
While Cyou sit there and swear the way I'm Gliving can't be D7right
It Gseems to bring you joy serene to nag me to the G7ground
So I'll Cbe out drinking Gpick me ups so D7you can put me Gdown
You've never tried to look inside and find the good in G7me
How Ccould you know I love you so my Gfaults are all you D7see
The Gonly time I feel at home is when I'm on the G7town
So I'll Cbe out drinking Gpick me ups so D7you can put me Gdown
It Cwouldn't do to Gcheat on you and I D7wouldn't if I Gcould
This Cheart of mine won't Glet my mind beA7lieve that you're no D7good
I'll Gjust play dumb until they come and put me in the G7ground
Then CI won't need no Gpick me ups cause D7you can't put me Gdown
No CI won't need the Gpick me ups cause D7you can't put me Gdown
