Guilty

	  		 
Yes baby, I've been drinkin 
A                      Am   D 
Ya, I shouldn't come by I know 
       E                 C#            C 
But I found myself in trouble, darlin' 
        B                  E  A  E  B7 
And I had no place else to go 
 
           E   E7   
Got some whiskey from a bottle 
           A       Am         D 
Got some cocaine from a friend 
       E               C#       C 
And I had to keep on movin' babe 
             B                   E  A  E E7 
Till' I was back in your arms again 
 
          A               Am 
But I'm guilty, yes I'm guilty 
              E              B         E  (bass F# G# B)   
And I'll be guilty all the rest of my life 
             A      Am                       D 
How come I never do, what I'm supposed to do 
F#                                   B 
Nothing I try to do ever turns out right 
 
 E                 E7              A 
You know how it is with me baby, 
                            Am    D 
You know I just can't stand myself 
             E              C#     C 
It takes a whole lot of medicine 
              B                      E   A  E 
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
