Fmaj7  C                G
I woke up today with an aching pain and
            F
i couldnt shake it
I tried to ease the pain
With a bottle of booze
But it wouldn’t do it
I ran, ran to the store
To grab some medicine to soothe it
But all, all that it did
Was wipe the memory of you babe

Chorus:
      Fmaj7    G     F
And I cant be good to
      Fmaj7       G       F
But I want to be good to you

Oh, the weather is gonna change
In a few months, babe
And all, all of this snow
Will melt into the yard
And I cleaned off my sheets for
I just need your loving
I cleaned off my sheets for
I just need your loving

Chorus:
But I can't be good to you
But I wanna be good to you

      Fmaj7                      G
she's smiling right at me and I feel it
                Am              C      Fmaj7
in my knees but I don't wanna trust no one
      Fmaj7                      G
she's smiling right at me and I feel it
                Am              C      Fmaj7
in my knees but I don't wanna trust no one
