Intro: (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)    
And (E) don't you ever (A) 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) 
and then (E) you can look the (A) whole world in the (B) eye
Honey, I try
   
But (F#) since I met you (G#m) girl I've been breaking (C#m) every (F#) rule
(C#m) I must con(G#m)fess I'm just a (E) back sliding (F#) fool

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