               F     G                 C
Take off your shoes, hang    up your   wings
C7            F                  G
Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug
          E7             Am
Savor the things that sobriety brings
D7                               G
Drain   in    the  last  from a jug

     C             G7                 C                 G7
But when I hit the bottle, there's no tellin' what I'll do
       C                 G7              C                  C7
'Cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue
F          D7      C          
I can't resist you, I  can't  wait
   D7                                G
To twist your loving arms 'til you capitulate


C              G7                C                 G7
Beat me in the kitchen, and I'll beat you in the hall
        C              G7            C        C7
There's nothing I love better than a free for all
   F                D7          C   
To take your pretty neck and see which way it  bends
    D7                          G
But when it is all over we will still be friends


Am            G7    Am           G7
Wave a white  flag, put away the pistol
Am       G7          C         C7
Too many people just can't get kissed
               F             Ab7          A7sus4  A7
But if there's nothin' I can do to make amends,   baby
Dm              G      C 
Hope you don't mur-der me


           Am                    
Oh, was it all right, or was it  o--kay
                       E7  Am  C7
I'll make it all up to you someday
            Dm                        Am
Oh, but you didn't have to laugh that way
            D7                        G     G7
Oh, no, you didn't have to laugh that way


Am            G7    Am           G7
Wave a white  flag, put away the pistol
Am       G7          C         C7
Too many people just can't get kissed
               F             Ab7          A7sus4  A7
But if there's nothin' I can do to make amends,   baby
Dm              G      C 
Hope you don't mur-der me
