G C

[Verse 1]
C
Wish I could come home from workin'
C
And not have her checking my breath
G
I'm tired of her turning her questions
C
Into the Gettysburg Address
C
There's no reason why she shouldn't trust me
C
The fact that she don't makes me mad
G
Can't count all the times that I've begged her
C
Honey, just let my past be the past

[Chorus]
                F
I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog
               C
Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law
G                                             C
People called me the Picasso of painting the town
         F
I've finally grown up
F
I've finally changed
              C
And that someone I was
C
Is somebody I ain't
    G
But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around
G
You know I'll probably die before I live all my
G                      C
Up to no good livin' down

[Instrumental]
G C

[Verse 2]
C
Gave up on bringing her flowers
C
That just kept making things worse
G
I ain't been guilty of nothing
C
But being the man she deserves

[Chorus]
                F
I used to drink like a fish and run like a dog
               C
Done a whole lotta shit not permitted by law
G                                             C
People called me the Picasso of painting the town
         F
I've finally grown up
F
I've finally changed
              C
And that someone I was
C
Is somebody I ain't
    G
But she finds it hard to believe that she's turned me around
G
You know I'll probably die before I live all my
G                      C
Up to no good livin' down

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
                F
I used to cuss like a sailor and howl at the moon
      C
I woke up some mornings with I-don't-know-who
G
But I never dreamed back then I'd have to pay for it now
G
You know, I'll probably die before I live all my
G                                C
Up to no good livin' down
G
Yeah, I'd hate to die before I live all my
                      C     G
Up to no good livin' down
