the way that i am Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I work all day like a dog
just to make [G]a dime
What [A]Un cle Sam doesn't take,
he sends to my two ex- [D]wives
All that I need is a small bag
of weed and a [G]friend[D]
[G]A p[A]lace we can go,
where the beer is ice- cold
And the women don't care where
you've been
[D]

[Verse 2]
'Cause I've been through hell
I've been locked up [G]in jail
Left out in [A]the cold
I've been drunk, I've been stone[D]d
Goin' out of my mind
One night stand at [G]a time
[A]I need a lady to hold me
As long as she leaves in the morning
'Cause I won't be changin' her name,
or the way that [D]I am

[Verse 3]
This [D]whiskey bottle in my
hand is goin' [G]dry
There [A]ain't enough whiskey in this
bottle to get her off [D]my mind
I know I'm to blame for livin'
on some old bar [G]stool
Ain't a [A]good girl in this world's gonna put up
with the crazy things I do
[D]

[Verse 4]
'Cause I've been through hell
I've been locked up [G]in jail
Left out in [A]the cold
I've been drunk, I've been stone[D]d
Goin' out of my mind
One night stand at [G]a time
[A]I need a lady to hold me
As long as she leaves in the morning
'Cause I won't be changin' her name,
or the way that [D]I am

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][G][D][C]
[G][Em][D]

[Verse 5]
[A]There ain't no use in pretendin'
There'll be some happy ending
'Cause I won't be changin' her name,
or the way that [D]I am
