[Intro] G C

[Verse 1] C Wish I could come home from workin' C And not have her checking my breath G I'm tired of her turning her questions C Into the Gettysburg Address C There's no reason why she shouldn't trust me C The fact that she don't makes me mad G Can't count all the times that I've begged her C Honey, just let my past be the past

[Chorus]                 F I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog                C Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law G C People called me the Picasso of painting the town          F I've finally grown up F I've finally changed               C And that someone I was C Is somebody I ain't     G But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around G You know I'll probably die before I live all my G C Up to no good livin' down

[Instrumental] G C

[Verse 2] C Gave up on bringing her flowers C That just kept making things worse G I ain't been guilty of nothing C But being the man she deserves

[Chorus]                 F I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog                C Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law G C People called me the Picasso of painting the town          F I've finally grown up F I've finally changed               C And that someone I was C Is somebody I ain't     G But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around G You know I'll probably die before I live all my G C Up to no good livin' down

[Instrumental] F C G C

[Outro]                 F I used to cuss like a sailor and howl at the moon       C I woke up some mornings with I-don't-know-who G But I never dreamed back then I'd have to pay for it now G You know, I'll probably die before I live all my G C Up to no good livin' down G Yeah, I'd hate to die before I live all my                       C G Up to no good livin' down
