[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][F]

[Verse 1]
[F]It's hard [G]to be a nice
[C]guy all [G]the time
Everybody knows [C]that guilty [G]feeling
When you hurt the one [C]you love[G]
Yes, I'm guilty of [C]that crime

[Verse 2]
It's [G]a strain to maintain [C]that loving feeling
[G]Even when you say,
[C]"Don't be [G]cruel"
People being what [C]they are,
there's [G]danger
There's gun battle[C]s in the s[G]uburbs[D]
I didn't [Bm]mean to be

Yes I'm guilty of [C]that crime[G]

[Verse 5]
[G]Now I wouldn't say [C]I was [F]no saint[G]
But there are worse [C]things that I [F]ain't[G]
My old mum will stand [C]by [G]me
And she's as true as she [C]can be
[F][G]
