(Chorus)
[A]I've got a tiger by the tail
It's plain to s[D]ee
[E]I won't be much when you get through with m[A]e
Well, I'm loosing weight and a turnin' mighty p[D]ale
[E]Looks like I got a tiger by the t[A]ail
Well, I thought the day I met you
You were m[D]eek as a lamb
[E]Just the kind to fit my dreams and p[A]lans
But now the place we're livin'
Takes the w[D]ind from my sail
[E]Looks like I've got a tiger by the t[A]ail
(Repeat chorus)
[A]Every night you drag me where
The [D]bright lights are found
[E]There ain't no way to slow you d[A]own
I'm about as helpless as a l[D]eaf in a gale
And [E]looks like I've got a tiger by the t[A]ail
[A]I've got a tiger by the tail
It's plain to s[D]ee
[E]I won't be much when you get through with m[A]e
Well, I'm loosing weight and a turnin' mighty p[D]ale
[E]Looks like I got a tiger by the t[A]ail
Well, I thought the day I met you
You were m[D]eek as a lamb
[E]Just the kind to fit my dreams and p[A]lans
But now the place we're livin'
Takes the w[D]ind from my sail
[E]Looks like I've got a tiger by the t[A]ail
(Repeat chorus)
[A]Every night you drag me where
The [D]bright lights are found
[E]There ain't no way to slow you d[A]own
I'm about as helpless as a l[D]eaf in a gale
And [E]looks like I've got a tiger by the t[A]ail
