       B       A     E
I could go to bed before 11:30
       B           A         E
I could go read a book that tells me not to worry
         D            G              D                 A
I could do a load of laundry that's just been sitting dirty
          B         A        E
I could show up on time and maybe even early, but

D  A    G
Oh-oh, here I go again
D  A
Oh-oh, can't say no

Chorus:
          A                       G
When the sun starts falling, the girls start calling
     D
The wine comes off of the shelf
           A                        G
Then the drums start to kick in and all my inhibitions
     D
Are gone by a quarter to twelve
          E                           F#m                  D
Yeah, I try to be an angel then the whole thing goes to hell
Lord, help me, I just, I can't help myself
A          G            D
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
A          G            D
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

And I could go for a walk and maybe eat a salad
I could pick up my guitar and write another ballad
I could even meditate to live with less distraction
All that pick me up at eight, I'm tryna kick the habit, but

Oh-oh, here I go again
Oh-oh, I can't say no

Chorus:
When the sun starts falling, the girls start calling
The wine comes off of the shelf
Then the drums start to kick in and all my inhibitions
Are gone by a quarter to twelve
Yeah, I try to be an angel, then the whole thing goes to hell
Lord, help me, I just, I can't help myself
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it, no, she can't)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it, no, she can't)
No, I can't help it (She can't help it,
the girl can't help it, no, she can't)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)

     A
My therapist says (She says)
   C#m
I do this a lot (A lot)
   F#m
I see her on Monday
     D
I'm coming in hot

Chorus:
'Cause when the sun starts falling, the girls start calling
The wine comes off of the shelf
Then the drums start to kick in and all my inhibitions
Are gone by a quarter to twelve
Yeah, I try to be an angel,
then the whole thing goes to hell (Mm-hmm)
And I should probably stay home tonight, I know, but, oh, well
Lord, help me, I just, I can't help myself
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it, no, she can't)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it, no, she can't)
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah (She can't help it,
the girl can't help it, no, she can't)
No, I can't (She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
I can't
