Put a Little Aside

Em                  D
Five times a year, I'll return
Em                                      D
With a fake pay package that I didn't earn
Em                                           D
It's the benefits and little bits I make sure I've got
Em                                           D
I'm the one who works the oil rigs, but really I'm not
Em                                           D
I've got a wife and kid on the lower state
Em                                           D
And it all started when I won a bet with my mate
Em                                           D
He said, "You couldn't get her," I said, "I can"
Em                                           D
I kissed her at the bar and this affair began

G
Each time you make a little money
D
Put a little aside for me
Em
So I can love you better
D
When you come home to me

You gotta
G
Each time I make a little money
D
I'll put a little aside for you
Em
So I can love you better
D
When I come home to you

Em                                          D
Two years down the line, I've got it worked out
Em
I've got a shift in the summer

                      D
and the winter left out
Em                                                D
My wife thinks I'm crazy because I work all the time
Em                                                 D
But she doesn't even notice, or even realize
Em                                                 D
But one day I must choose between my love and affair
Em
And I don't think I've got the guts
D
I ain't got the nerve
Em                                                 D
It's such a hard decision to make me choose one
Em
But what they don't know won't hurt them
D
So I'll just carry on
