written by David Allan Coe Album: "For the Soul and For the Mind Demo's '71-'74" 12/1/05 [Intro] A7 C G A7
D            G                   D
Just because I drink more than I used to

                   A7               D     D7
Doesn't mean that you're the one to blame

G                                 D
Just because I come home a little later every night
E7 A7-C-G-A7 Doesn't mean that I'm living in shame
          D             G                 D
Lord it's not you, it's me that should be sorry

               A7              D       D7
I've neglected you more than I should

G                           D
You say we can work it out together
E7 A7-C-G-A7 It would be so easy if we could
    G                             D
But how can I explain the way I'm feelin'

                    A7              D       D7
I've always kept my feelings locked inside

     G                        D
It's easier to tell them to a stranger
E7 A7-C-G-A7 And drinking seems to soothe my wounded mind
      D        G                  D
Maybe someday I'll be the way you want me

                       A7           D       D7
It seems I've let this bottle take command

G                                    D
You say you don't think it holds the answer

       A7                         A7  C  G  D
Oh but sometimes it helps me be a man
