Verse

  G+G                 B minorBm
My boss'll tell you that I've been to work all week on time
  C majorC              G+G
And I ain't had no liquor on my breath
G+G                 B minorBm
Ain't no kind of secret I've been known to take a drink
     C majorC               D MajorD
And it's made me do some things that I regret
 C majorC                 G+G
Loretta said this ain't no kind of way to raise a family
    C majorC                   D MajorD
And one night she called it quits and called a cab
       C majorC                    G+G
She left the clothes out on the clothes line and the dishes in the sink
   C majorC                   D MajorD
So I guess she knows that she ain't comin' back

      G+G             B minorBm
But I just wanna see my kids, I just wanna hold my girls
    C majorC                 D MajorD
Heaven knows I ain't got much of nothin' else in this whole world
    G+G             B minorBm
I just wanna be around enough to know that they've been loved
    C majorC         D MajorD        G+G
I just wanna be the daddy  my daddy never was

Instrumental: G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD

Verse
  G+G                 B minorBm
Now lately she's been knowing this ol' boy she met in church
  C majorC                  D MajorD
And I can't say she's wrong for wantin' more
    G+G                 B minorBm
I gave him the right to tell my wife that I can't come around
  C majorC                  D MajorD
The night I knocked a hole in her front door
    C majorC             G+G
And Loretta took my keys and she made me wait outside
    C majorC                D MajorD
But she didn't call the law she called a cab
  C majorC           G+G
And as I pulled away I saw somethin' in her eyes
  C majorC                 D MajorD
So I reckon that she knows I ain't so bad


      G+G             B minorBm
But I just wanna see my kids, I just wanna hold my girls
    C majorC                 D MajorD
Heaven knows I ain't got much of nothin' else in this whole world
    G+G             B minorBm
I just wanna be around enough to know that they've been loved
    C majorC         D MajorD        G+G
I just wanna be the daddy  my daddy never was

Instrumental: G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD

Bridge
  G+G                 B minorBm
My boss'll tell you that I've been to work all week on time
  C majorC              D MajorD (let ring)
And I ain't had no liquor on my breath

Outro: G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G
