CAPO II


INTRO: E  A  B7  E

E                              A                E
I still show up at 5, let everybody know I've arrived
  E 
I order up my usual thing 'cause I don't want no one to think
    B7                                         A-A-A
I'm not the guy they've come to learn to like
E                                     A                    E
Somewhere around about 8, when it's a wall-to-wall in this place
  B7
I sneak into the bathroom stall, lift the window while I crawl
B7
Better things to do than drink


CHORUS:
        E
Hey I'm cheatin' on my honky-tonk, 'fraid my friends are gonna talk
A                         E
Try and hide it best as I can
     E   
Well I don't want no one to know what I'm doin', where I go
B7
Think I'm any less of a man
               A                                             F#7
I know they'll ridicule me, try to pull me back if they only knew
          A                         B7                 E
I've been cheatin' on my honky-tonk and comin' home to you

E                                 A                        E
First time I slipped away, I felt guilty 'bout it all next day
   E
So next night just to throw 'em off I got so drunk I had to fall
B7                               A-A-A
On my butt to save a little face
     E                                                      A                      E
They still don't know I'm doin' 'em wrong, but they've been noticin' how I've been gone
        B7
And I'm runnin' out of ways to lie, my poor old mom has died three times
B7
Things are close to catchin' on


CHORUS


SOLO:  A  E  A  B7

               A                                             F#7
I know they'll ridicule me, try to pull me back if they only knew
          A                         B7                 E
I've been cheatin' on my honky-tonk and comin' home to you
