Yes baby, I've been drinkin
[A]Ya, I shouldn't come by[Am] I kn[D]ow
But I f[E]ound myself in tro[C#]uble, darlin'[C]
And I ha[B]d no place else to [E]go[A][E][B7]
Got some wh[E]iske[E7]y from a bottle
Got some co[A]caine fr[Am]om a friend[D]
And I h[E]ad to keep on mo[C#]vin' babe[C]
Till' I was b[B]ack in your arms aga[E]in[A][E][E7]
But I'm gu[A]ilty, yes I'm gu[Am]ilty
And I'll be gu[E]ilty all the re[B]st of my l[E]ife[(bass][F#][G#][B)]
How come I ne[A]ver do,[Am] what I'm supposed to do[D]
[F#]Nothing I try to do ever turns out ri[B]ght
Y[E]ou know how it is [E7]with me baby,[A]
You know I just can't stand [Am]myself[D]
It takes a wh[E]ole lot of medi[C#]cine[C]
For me to pret[B]end that I'm somebody e[E]lse[A][E]
