Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][D][G][D][G][A][D][G]
[A]

[Verse 1]
[D]If
you ask me [G]why I [A]lie to you
I [D]can tell you [G]I don't know mys[A]elf
It's [D]amazingly dishon[G]est[A]
But I'd [D]have to [G]recognize it
As [A]part of myself

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][A][D][G][A]

[Verse 2]
[D]Straighten [G]up
Why [A]can't you [D]straighten [G]up
I've [A]heard you [D]tell [A]me this
So many [G]times[A]
It [D]doesn't [A]even stick
[G][A]

[Verse 3]
I get [D]it all [G]the time
I [A]get it [D]all the [G]time
You [A]know I [D]love to [A]make
A [G]joke [A]of it

[Verse 4]
And [D]if you ask me [G]why I [A]hurt you
I [D]don't understand it
I can[G]'t help my[A]self
Its [D]a special combination
[G]Of [A]pre[D]ditory[G] instinct
And [A]simple ill [D]will
[G][A][D][G][A]

[Verse 5]
[G]I would give some t[D]hought to it
If I [G]thought that it might do [A]me
Some [D]good[G]
[A]Some [D]goo[G]d[D][A]

[Verse 6]
[D]Straighten up[G]
Why [A]can't you [D]straighten [G]up
You [A]always [D]say [A]I'll lose
[G]Control [A]of it
And [D]thirty [A]is not too old
[G]

[Verse 7]
[A]
Well momma [G]I would
give some [D]thought to it
If I [G]thought that it might [D]do [G]me[A]
Some [D]good[G]
[Gm]Some[A] good[D][G]
[A]Some [D]good
[G][A][D]
