A
I was 12 when daddy said to me
                                                     E
Don't take to drinking boy that road don't lead no where   
                                    A
And don't you ever let me hear you swear 
                A OPEN  Ab  A          
Don't you dare
A
He told me that stealing's a lazy man's way
                                                       D

Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay so don't buy into it 
                                              A 
and then you can look the whole world in the eye

Honey I've tried.
      E             F#m                       Bm    E
But Since I met you girl I've been breaking every rule
Bm       F#m               D             E
I must confess I'm just a back sliding fool
CHROUS:
            A                E
I want to drink from your loving cup
 A                D
Swear I'll never give you up
 F#m            Bm         E
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
         A         E            A              F#m
I wanna lie here close to you look at what you made me do
  D                        A
Darling you're the reason why
    E                      A
I drink, swear, steal and lie

Intro riff once
A
Last night I threw away the 12 step book
                                              D
I finally faced the fact that I am hooked on you
                                 A                A OPEN Ab A
There's nothing more that I can do  Ain't no use
  A
"Cause every time I see your angel face
                                        D
My halo disappears without a trace  I swear
                                A
Girl I'd admit I haven't got a prayer

But I don't care
   E                F#m         Bm    E
I know this ain't exactly how I was raised
Bm                  F#m            D          E
But heaven help me honey I ain't changing my ways

ENDING:
                   E                       A
