Intro chords:  E5 A5 E5 A5 E5 B5 E5 
 

Verse: 
E5                         
I can?t help it if I?m crazy 
         A5               E5 
When it comes to loving you 
E5                 A5     E5 
I?ll perform my civic duties  
          F#5            B5 
Like the beliefs(?) say I should do 
         A5                E5 
I?m a deacon at First Baptist 
                            B5 
My family treats me like a king 
        A5              E5 
And my wife is mostly happy  
                       B5    E5 
Cause she don?t know everything 
 
Chorus: 
          A5          E5 
But your body is an outlaw 
   A5              E5 
Stealing from my soul 
            A5                  E5 
But I know hell could not be worse than 
            B5     A5    E5 
Not having you to hold 
 
*Step up a half-step after first chorus* 
 
Verse: 
F5 
And I?m on my way to see you 
        Bb5              F5 
And to feel you feelin? me 
F5                Bb5    F5 
In the saddest lying shadow 
                 C5    F5 
Of what is, and has to be 
 
Chorus:   
          Bb5          F5 
But your body is an outlaw 
  Bb5              F5 
Stealing from my soul 
            Bb5                F5 
But I know hell could not be worse than 
            C5     Bb5    F5 
Not having you to hold
