G                                     C  
I've got two dollars in the jukebox five dollars in a bottle 
 D7                                        G  D7  
Ten more just in case that don't do the trick  
         G                             C  
I'll be dead broke tomorrow morning with heartaches by the dozen 
       D7                                  G  
And a lady on my mind that's driving me crazy 
  
               A7  
Why do I  why do I 
 C                   G  
Need to see those blues eyes  
             A7  
Looking at  me that way again 
           D7  
After the way she did me it's a sin 
 
     G                A7  
How could she  how could she 
 C                   G  
Just walk out and leave me 
       A7                        D7  
After all these nights in her arms 
              G  
Look where I am 
 
Repeat #1 
 
            D7                                  C     G  
I've got a lady on my mind that's driving me cra--zyeee

C  
I’ve always been the kind of man 
     G7  
Who doesn't believe in strings 
 Am  
Long term obligations  
          E7  
Are just unnecessary things 
     F                    G7  
But girl you’ve got me thinking 
           E7                  Am  
While I’m drinking one more beer 
        D7  
If I’m headed for a heartache 
              Dm                G7  
Then why the hell am I still here 
 
     C  
I’m testing my resistance 
          G7  
And it’s wearing mighty thin 
 Am  
I’ve got the feeling I should leave 
   E7  
Before the roof caves in 
    F                  G7  
My mind tells me to move along 
        E7             Am  
But my body begs me stay 
           D7  
And now I feel the need to hold you close 
     Dm               G7  
And love the night away 
 
       
While you’re turning me 
 F  
Every which way but loose you turn me 
 C  
Every which way but loose 
   G7                                  C  
Inside the fire is burning me in my mind 
                       C7  
You just keep turning me 
 F  
Every which way but loose 
 C                        A7  
Baby there’s no excuse to turn me 
 Dm            G7        F  C  
Every which way but loose 
 
              
When the sun comes up in the morning 
           G7  
It should find us someplace new 
     Am  
But right this minute all I want 
       E7  
Is to lay here next to you 
       F                     G7  
Those memories still keep calling me 
      E7                Am  
From somewhere in my past 
        D7  
Better hurry if they want me 
             Dm               G7  
Cause I can feel me fading fast 
              
Repeat #3
