Not a day goes by

That a man doesn't  have to choose

Between what he wants
Eb            F            Cm
   What he's afraid to lose

Along comes temptation

And he can't refuse, no
G

  I know the different 'tween wrong and right
F                                Ab            G
 Don't make no difference in the middle of the night

For good advice

I was smokin' and drinkin'
    Eb            F          Cm   Eb F
And thinkin' when you walked by
    Cm
The next thing I knew
      Eb           F  Cm
I was making up my alibi, yes I was
             F
And all I've done since then
        Cm
Is lie, lie, lie

Pre-Chorus 2:
  G
I took my chances, had a real good time
F
 But I'd give my soul
      Ab              G
For a little peace of mind

To tell the truth, is a big mistake
Cm           F           D                 G
  Homes will crumble and hearts will break
