[Verse 1]
[G]A t[B]rif[Bm]ling[E][A][D][G][D][G][A]
[Bm]man [D]came h[E]ome one night
[A]And tip[D]toed to his [G]door[C][G][D]
[G]To his despai[Bm]r,
[G]his little wifie was[Dm] the[E]re
[A]Waitin' to lay down the [D]law[C][D]
[G]Said she, "I'm through,

[Verse 2]
[D]
[G]I'm really sick [E]of you
Get [A]out, stay out, [D]and be on your [G]way"
Well he [D]dropped down on his [E]knees
[D]Cried "oh[E], please",
[A]But this is all [Adim]she had [D]to say:

[Verse 3]
Get [G]up , get [B]up, off your [Bm]knees [E]papa
You [A]can't win [D]me back that way
[G]Turn in, turn [B]in all your keys [E]papa
You [D]really goin' this [A]time to [D]stay
I discovered [G]that you're the worst man

[Verse 4]
[G]
in this town
Looks [C]like you're fond of
keepin' on [Eb]going [G]lower down[D]
[G]Get up, get up, [B]off your knees [E]papa
You [A]can't win me [D]back [G]that way[D]
[G]Get right

[Verse 5]
[B]up off your [E]knees papa
I'm tellin' you,
[A]you can't win [D]me back that way
[G]Turn in [B]all your [Bm]key s p[E]apa
'Cause I put [D]you out
this time [A]to stay[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]You're so blamed crooked,
here are blades
Looks [C]like it's a hard matter for you
to keep your head [G]up straight
[D]So get [G]up off your [E]knees papa
You [A]can't win me [D]back [G]that way

[Verse 7]
[D]Anyhow. [G]Stand up when
you're makin' your pleas
No [C]use you [G]wearin' [C]out [D]your knees
[G]I heard someone say right next door
[Dm]Look might[C]y strange
down there on all [G]fours
[D]Stop [G]it,

[Verse 8]
down like that
What in the [C]devil anyhow can
you be drivin' at?
[G]So get[D] up and[G] stay up
[B]off your [E]knees papa
You [A]can't win me [D]back that way
Be[G]sides [E]it looks suspicious And

[Verse 9]
[A]
you can't win [D]me [G]back that [D]way.
