verse:   Am

If I didn't know better I'd hang my hat right there
   E                       Am
If I didn't know better I'd follow you up the stairs

Stop saying those sweet things you know I like to hear
     E                            Am
The horns are blowing louder and they're destroying me


    chours:
  Dm         Am
    Why do I keep drinking
   Dm              Am
    Wasting my time on you
       Dm       E
    If I didn't know better
    But damnit
      Am
    I do


    verse:

There's a hole in what you're saying
 I can plainly see
 You have a lover that's waiting but baby you're right here with me

Ooh
 You might as well be the devil
 Oh
 Keeping me out past three
 Oh
 You're the one with that apple so baby you can't blame me


   chour:
Why don't you keep drinking
 Get me one night with you
 If I didn't know better
 But damnit
 I do

do intro bit one more time here:


You know that I do

Oh
 Baby you're right here with me
 Oh
