Michael Peterson

Submitted by: Christopher R.

Intro: (B) (B) (A) (B)

(B) I was 12 when daddy said to me

Don't take to drinking boy that road don't lead no (F#) where

And don't you ever let me hear you (B) swear

Don't you dare (A)

(B) He told me that stealing's a lazy man's way

Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay so don't (E) lie

and then you can look the whole world in the (B) eye

Honey I try

But (F#) since I met you (G#m) girl I've been breaking (C#m) every (F#) rule

(C#m) I must con(G#m)fess I'm just a (E) back sliding (F#) fool

I want to (E) drink from your (F#) loving cup

(B) Swear I'll never (E) give you up

(G#m) Steal all your (C#m) kisses under(F#)neath the moon

I wanna (E) lie here (F#) close to you (B) look at what you (G#m) made me do

(E) Darling you're the reason why

I (F#) drink, swear, steal and lie

Last night I threw away the 12 step book

I finally faced the fact that I am hooked on you

There's nothing more that I can do

Ain't no use

"Cause every time I see your angel face

My halo disappears without a trace I swear

Girl I'd admit I haven't got a prayer

But I don't care

I know this ain't exactly how I was raised

But heaven help me honey I ain't changing my ways

Repeat Chorus Twice

(F#) drink, swear, steal and lie
