The Way That I Am

D                                          G
I work all day like a dog just to make a dime
A                                                D
What uncle sam doesn’t take he sends to my two X-wives
D                                               G
All that I need is a small bag of weed and a friend
A
A place we can go, where the beer is ice cold
                                       D
and the women don’t care where you’ve been.


[Chorus]

D                                                 G
Cause I been through hell, I’ve been locked up in jail
                A                                D
Left out in the cold, I’ve been drunk I’ve been stoned
                                           G
Going out of my mind, one night stand at a time
A
I need a lady to hold me, as long as she leaves in the morning
                                                     D
Cause I won’t be changing her name or the way that I am

[Verse 2]

D                                       G
This whiskey bottle in my hand is going dry
A                                                            D
There ain’t enough whiskey in this bottle to get her off my mind
D                                               G
I know I’m to blame for living on some old bar stool
A                                                                     D
Ain’t a good girl in this worlds gonna put up with the crazy things I do



[Chorus]

D                                                  G
Cause I been through hell, I’ve been locked up in jail
                A                               D
Left out in the cold, I’ve been drunk I’ve been stoned
                                           G
Going out of my mind, one night stand at a time
A
I need a lady to hold me, as long as she leaves in the morning
                                                     D
Cause I won’t be changing her name or the way that I am

There Ain’t no use in pretending they’ll be some happy ending
                                                     D
cause I won’t be changing her name or the way that I am
