1. I swear by the Lord I've been here, over and over again.   
      Bm  
   A good woman trys to love me and I never make it to  
            Bm                            Bm  
   the end. So many times it's happened, love has been here  
              Bm  
   and gone. Something deep down inside of me, got to keep   

   movin on.

           F#     Bm            E           G              F#  
       an angel, sent from up above, It's always been the same,  
              A            G             A    A    A  
       It's always me to blame, I got a real bad habit-

2.  Now my friends all try to tell me, boy what is wrong  
              Bm 
    with you. Am I blind or just out'd my mind, to do these  
                  Bm  
    things I do. Maybe I can't live up to, livin' love  
                      Bm  
    day by day. Cause love's been mine so many times,  

    still I just walk away.
