D          D/C#          D/B       D/A      G        G/F#   Em  Asus4  A
I work overtime cause my boss is a jerk, it gets him off my back
  D            D/C#  D/B         D/A     G         G/F#      Em Asus4  A
I go to see my momma right after work so she knows where I'm at
G                         D/F#                   Em                Asus4  A
Stop by my sister's and I hug her neck, tell her just let that guy go
              G                    D/F#               Em     Asus4  A
But there's a few things I do when I'm by myself that nobody knows


Chorus:
          G           A      D    D/F#
It's just somethin' I do for me
G              A       D      D/F#
Sometimes when I can't sleep
  G         A       Bm              G 
I get in my car and drive down your street
          D           A      D 
It's just somethin' I do for me

I did everything that a man could do to try and make you smile
I couldn't keep love from slippin away but I slowed it down a while
When you finally told me that you'd had enough, well it broke my heart into
So I swallowed my pride, walked out of your life, I did that for you

Chorus 2:
But there's somethin' I do for me
Sometimes I really need
To sit in a bar drown some old memories
It's just somethin' I do for me

Bm                        A
I know these things might all seem strange
        G
But somehow they get me by
     Bm                  A            
This smile on my face is hidin' the trace
   B7                E7
Of teardrops in my eyes

Chorus 3:
It's just somethin' I do for me
Sometimes when noone sees
I talk to the man, I get down on my knees
It's just somethin' I do for me

I talk to the man, I get down on my knees
It's just somethin' I do for me

Just somethin' I do for me
