[D] [Am] [A]
[Am] [A]
[D] [Am] [A]
[Am] In the morning, we trash the [Dm] bed,
Bring the coffee like I'm [Gm] boiling,
[F]
Then we start up again, [Am] and the coffee goes cold.
Wake up drinking from your lips,
[Dm]
Kisses warm and tender,
[F]
And I gave up the world, [Am]
just to see you smile.
One thing I [G] will never [F] understand,
[Am] It's become [G] my problem,
[D] [Am] And it's something that's [G] right [F] out of my hand.
My [D] hands are clean,
[F#] [G] What makes such a sweet [A] guy turn so mean?
[Am]
I was a child with a moody [Dm] man,
A handsome Dr.
Jekyll,
[F] He was right by my [A] side,
Turning into Mr.
[Am] Hyde.
I ran for cover, but I ran too slow,
[Dm] I watched it by strangers,
[F] And they shook their heads,
Somebody [Am] could do the things you did.
One thing I will [G] never [F]
understand,
[Am] It's become [G] my [D] problem,
[Am] And it's something [G] that's right [F] out of my hand.
[D] My hands are clean,
[Gm] What makes such a [G] sweet guy [A] turn so mean?
[Am] [Dm]
I [F]
[Am]
[C]
must be mad, I [G] must be crazy,
[F] Everyone tells [Am] me so,
[C] All of my life, I've [G] seen it coming.
[F] Now I'm facing the wall, [D] waiting for that blow.
[Am]
In the morning, you kissed my head,
You said [A] with somebody else, you weren't feeling [F] yourself.
Now you're down on your knees,
Begging me, baby, baby, baby, [A] baby,
Forgiveness, [Am]
please.
I wake up aching from your [Dm] touch,
I wake up so tender.
[F]
Yet I look in your eyes, the way [Am] they smile,
I'm hypnotized.
One thing I will [G] never [F] understand,
[Am] It's become my [G] problem,
[D] [Am] And it's something [G] that's right out of [F] my hand.
My [D] hands are clean,
[A] What makes such a [G] sweet guy [Am] turn so mean?
I want to know,
What turns so mean?
I want to know,
What makes you turn so mean?
Must be your daddy,
Your sweet old daddy.
