Em                               C
I'll tell you what you wanna know
                               Am
But boy you better listen close
                          Em
People gonna tell you lies
       D                      Em
Don't let it come as a surpris

                             C
That woman's on my back again
                             Am
I know she's got the best intentions
                         Em
When you begin to realize
      D                           G
You know you got your daddy's eyes

                                      D6
And there's something that I want to say
             Am
I love her, too
                        Em7                 D6
And all of this has got nothing to do with you

Chorus:
    Em                              C
And I'd like to stay but I can't because
                                Am
I've been fooling around and I know
                                        Em
That you called because you never even knew
                     D
That it was hurting me

When you put it on the other hand
When you're old enough to understand
That glove will bring it all to life
I didn't say that made it right

That woman's on my back again
I know she's got the best intentions
When you begin to realize
You know you got your daddy's eyes

And there's something that I want to say,
I love her, too.
And all of this has got nothing to do with you.

Chorus - x2

               C          G/B Am  G
And sometimes people get tired
           C                G      D7
And I woke up a little too late to lie
               C           G/B Am G
Dreams should last a long time
         C            G        D7
This is not what I'd call goodbye

Chorus - x2

 Em G D/F#
Me
                Am G D/F# Em
And I love her too
