Intro: (A)  (B)  (B)  (A)  (B)

(B) I was 12 when daddy said to me
Don't take to drinking boy that road don't lead no (E) where (A/E)    
And (E) don't you ever let me hear you (B) swear 
Don't you dare (A) 
(B) He told me that stealing's a lazy man's way
Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay so don't (E) lie (A/E) 
and then (E) you can look the whole world in the (B) eye
Honey, I try
   
But (C#m7) since I met you (B/D#) girl I've been breaking (E) every (F#) rule
(E) I must con(B/D#)fess I'm just a (C#m7) back sliding (F#) fool

I want to (E) drink from your (F#) loving cup
(B) Swear (F#/A#) I'll never (G#m7) give you (F#) up
(E) Steal all your (C#m7) kisses under(A)neath the moon (F#)
I wanna (E) lie here (F#) close to you (B) look at (F#/A#) what you (G#m7) made me (F#) do
(C#m7) Darling, (B/D#) you're the (Emaj7) reason why
I (Cm#7/F#) drink, swear, steal and lie

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

I know this ain't exactly how I was raised
But heaven help me honey I ain't changing my ways

Repeat Chorus Twice

(F#) drink, swear, steal and lie
