Fm                         Bbm  Ab                                     C
Did you ever want to cry, but you didn't know just why?
F                          Bb                   Eb            Ab
Did you ever sit up all night long just listening to
                     Db
that same old song?
        Bb                              Db                       F
The one they played when she said nothing could go wrong?

CHORUS:
Fm           Bbm              Ab         C       F
Right, I know you did, oh, you kid..did you really think
          Bb
that she'd be true?
Eb                             Ab         Db
Wasn't that rather na-ive of you?
       Bb                                          Db          C
And now she's dropped you like a worn-out shoe.

Fm                 Ab         Bbm  Ab                             C
She's got you drinking gin, and you know that's a sin.
F                                 Bb                  Eb                  Ab
You go honky-tonking every night..you get drunk and then
       Gb         Db
you start a fight.
   Bb                                Eb         Cm
I know that you think that it's alright.

CHORUS:
Fm                                 Bb      Ab                                C

You can live your life just as you please.

But, when you lie with dogs, you gotta get fleas.

And now she's brought you down to your knees.

Fm             Ab                      Bbm           Ab
Arms that used to hold you tight, you miss them in the middle
           C
of the night.
F                                      Bb                 Eb              Ab
You burned your candles at both ends..now, it's too late, to
              Db
late to make amends.
Bb                              Db           Bbm
You've even lost your old time friends.

Enemies, glad to see you down, people, they don't want you
                   C
hanging round.

Did you ever want to cry..but you didn't know just why?

Right, I know you did..wrong, it's not the way to live.
