INTRO: C 
 
C 
Have you ever stared in the bottom of a coffee cup 
    F                                        C 
And discovered that you got no reason stayin up 
G                                                 Cadd9  N/C 
Right at the moment when, the caffeine is kickin in 
 
       C 
So you break down and give an old girlfriend a call 
     F                                    C 
Then after 2 hours of hearin her mindless talk 
     G                                                                   Cadd9 N/C 
You remember what you dumped her for, and you wish you hadn't opened that door 
 
CHORUS: 
               C 
I do it and I don't know why 
                        F 
Hate to admit it but I think that I 
                            G 
Got somethin rollin 'round loose inside 
                Cadd9 
That never was screwed down tight 
  G                            F             C 
I don't know why I do it but I do it all the time 
 
Have you ever worked hard to line your pocket with dough 
Then let a little girl in love start burnin a hole 
Know that she'll break your heart and max out your credit cards 
 
CHORUS 
 
SOLO 
 
Have you ever fallen for a girl thinkin she's the one 
Then get a funny feelin that your ramblin days are done 
You can tell she loves ya so much, and ya have to go and screw it up 
 
CHORUS 2: 
 
I do it and I don't know why 
Hate to admit it but I think that I 
Got somethin' rollin 'round loose inside 
That never was screwed down tight 
                                   C 
No I don't know why I do it, but I do it 
  C        C 
I do it, I do it 
 
CHORUS 3: 
 
I do it and I don't know why 
I got a habit of wreckin' my life 
Keep leanin' left when I wanna go right 
You know it isn't like I haven't tried 
Oh I don't know why I do it but I do it all the time 
 
  C 
(Why I do it don't know why I do it) 
   G                            F             C 
I don't know why I do it but I do it all the time
