[Intro]
 (E)  (E)  (E)  (E)
Have you Eever looked down in the bottom of a coffee cup
And dis Acovered that you got reason staying Eup
BRight at the moment when
The caffine's kickin' (No Chord) in
So you Ebreak down and give an old girlfriend a call
Then Aafter two hours of hearing her mindless Etalk
You Bremember what you dumped her for
And you wish you hadn't opened that Edoor
[Chorus]
I do it and I Edon't know why
Hate to admit it but I think that I
Got something rollin' round Aloose inside
That never was Escrewed down tight
No I Bdon't know why I do it
But I do it all the Etime
Have you Eever worked hard to line your pockets with dough
Then Alet a little girl and love start burning a Ehole
BKnowing that she'll break your heart
And max out your credit Ecards
[Chorus]
I do it and I Edon't know why
Hate to admit it but I think that I
Got something rollin' round Aloose inside
That never was Escrewed down tight
No I Bdon't know why I do it
But I do it all the Etime
(Steel Guitar Solo)
Have you Eever fallin' for a girl thinkin' she's the one
And you Aget a funny feeling that your ramblin' days are Edone
You can Btell she loves you so much
That you have to go and screw it (No Chord) up
[Chorus]
I Edo it, I do it, I (No Chord) do it
I do it, and I Edon't know why
I got a habit of wreckin' my life
Keep leaning left when I Awant to go right
You know it isn't like I Ehaven't tried
I Bdon't know why I do it
But I do it all the Etime
I Bdon't know why I do it
But I do it all the Etime

[Intro]

E E E E

() () () ()

Have you ever looked down in the bottom of a coffee cup

A E

And dis covered that you got reason staying up

Right at the moment when

The caffine's kickin' (No Chord) in

So you break down and give an old girlfriend a call

A E

Then after two hours of hearing her mindless talk

You remember what you dumped her for

And you wish you hadn't opened that door

[Chorus]

I do it and I don't know why

Hate to admit it but I think that I

Got something rollin' round loose inside

That never was screwed down tight

No I don't know why I do it

But I do it all the time

Have you ever worked hard to line your pockets with dough

A E

Then let a little girl and love start burning a hole

Knowing that she'll break your heart

And max out your credit cards

[Chorus]

I do it and I don't know why

Hate to admit it but I think that I

Got something rollin' round loose inside

That never was screwed down tight

No I don't know why I do it

But I do it all the time

(Steel Guitar Solo)

Have you ever fallin' for a girl thinkin' she's the one

A E

And you get a funny feeling that your ramblin' days are done

You can tell she loves you so much

That you have to go and screw it (No Chord) up

[Chorus]

I do it, I do it, I (No Chord) do it

I do it, and I don't know why

I got a habit of wreckin' my life

Keep leaning left when I want to go right

You know it isn't like I haven't tried

I don't know why I do it

But I do it all the time

I don't know why I do it

But I do it all the time
