[Verse]
GI don't mind doing Ddishes at night
CPicking up all your mess that Dyou're leaving behind
GCause you go on the road for a Dmonth at a time
You say you Ccan't wait to get back Dhome
GAnd I don't mind when you're Dcoming home late
Whiskey Con your breath, say you Dmade a mistake
Kissed a Ggirl on the mouth, it was a Dthree-dollar bet
But you'll Calways call me your Down
[Chorus:]
CHow can I be the one that Gcries for you
Unless you Dlove me true
CHow can I be the one that Glets it slide
Unless you Dtake the time
To be a good man to Gme
Any day of the Dweek
Tell the boys all C"No," that you just can't Dgo
No, Gtonight it's just my baby and Dme
Be a good man to Gme
[Verse]
GI understand if it's Dnot in your way
To go Cdoting around on a Dlady all day
But the Gsimplest thing that would Dmake my heart ring
Well, you Cdon't even think to dDo it
So Gif it's too much to be Dgiven enough
To keep the Csparkle alive
I Dguess that we tried everyGthing that we could
To keep our Dlove going good
And I'd Clike to think I'm better Dfor it
[Chorus]
DAnd if you did ever rCeally love me
Then it Gwasn't in vain
DCause what's a girl Cwithout a broken heart
And some Gbaggage to claim
When she Dclimbs on a plane
[Outro]
GI don't mind doing Ddishes at night
Picking Cup all your mess that you're Dleaving behind
Cause you Ggo on the road for a Dmonth at a time
You say you Ccan't wait to get Dback home

[Verse]

G D

I don't mind doing dishes at night

C D

Picking up all your mess that you're leaving behind

G D

Cause you go on the road for a month at a time

C D

You say you can't wait to get back home

G D

And I don't mind when you're coming home late

C D

Whiskey on your breath, say you made a mistake

G D

Kissed a girl on the mouth, it was a three-dollar bet

C D

But you'll always call me your own

[Chorus:]

C G

How can I be the one that cries for you

Unless you love me true

C G

How can I be the one that lets it slide

Unless you take the time

To be a good man to me

Any day of the week

C D

Tell the boys all "No," that you just can't go

G D

No, tonight it's just my baby and me

Be a good man to me

[Verse]

G D

I understand if it's not in your way

C D

To go doting around on a lady all day

G D

But the simplest thing that would make my heart ring

C D

Well, you don't even think to do it

G D

So if it's too much to be given enough

To keep the sparkle alive

D G

I guess that we tried everything that we could

To keep our love going good

C D

And I'd like to think I'm better for it

[Chorus]

D C

And if you did ever really love me

Then it wasn't in vain

D C

Cause what's a girl without a broken heart

And some baggage to claim

When she climbs on a plane

[Outro]

G D

I don't mind doing dishes at night

C D

Picking up all your mess that you're leaving behind

G D

Cause you go on the road for a month at a time

C D

You say you can't wait to get back home
