C#7    F#          F#7         B
Yeah, baby, I been drinkin' and I shouldn't
               Bm
come by I know,
       F#              D#m   C#
But I found myself in trouble
      C#7                 F#  C#7
and I had nowhere else to go

Got some whisky from the barman
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on movin'
Til I was back in your arms again

Chorus:
B                 Bm            F#            C#
Guilty honey I'm guilty I'll be guilty all the rest
       F#  F#7
of my life
            B                   Bm
How come I never do what I'm supposed to do
          G#                 G#7             C# C#7
How come nothin' I try to do ever turns out right?

You know, you know how it is with me baby
You know, I just can't stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
