I came in as the[Bb] sun came up
[Bb]She glared at me over her coffee cup
She said, "Wh[Eb]ere've you been?" So I thought real hard
And said, "I f[Bb]ell asleep in that hammock in the yard"
She said, "Y[F]ou don't know it, boy, but you just blew it"
Well I said "t[Bb]hat's my story and I'm sticking to it."
CHORUS:
[Eb]That's my story Oh th[Bb]at's my story
2.3.) (That's my story) (That's my story)
Well I a[F]in't got a witness and I can't prove it
3.)and you know
But t[Bb]hat's my story and I'm sticking to it.
ENDING:
You know [F]I ain't going to do a thing unless you approve it
That's [Bb]my story and I'm sticking to it.
[Bb]I got that deer in the headlights look
[Bb]She read my face like a cover of a book
and said, "do[Eb]n't expect me to believe all that static
C[Bb]ause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic
My s[F]kin got so thin you could see right through it
And I stuttered "[Bb]that's my story and I'm stic-sticking to it"
go to chorus using the 2.)
Speak the words vamping on Bb Ab Eb Bb
You know the time comes when a wise man knows the best that he can do
Is just look her in the eye and beg for mercy and face the bitter truth
[Bb]Honey me and boys played cards all night
[Bb]No hanky panky not a woman in sight
I k[Eb]now I should have called and baby I-I'm real sorry
[Bb]Let's get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry
You k[F]now how much I love ya and darling I'm ready to prove it
[Bb]That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
