[Cm] [F#] [C]
I bet you want that [C] honey
Baby, [F] baby, [G]
make me [F] blue
With [C] my mother, girl, [F] [C] you knew before
[F] [G] Between the two of us, [F] girl, I love you [Cm] [Am] more
It took me by [F] surprise, I must say
[C]
When I [F] fell yesterday, [B] don't you [C] know that I
[F] hurt you
You [B] [C]
were to [F] be my good lord
So I [C] was
[F] [C]
[F] lucky enough to lose my mind
[Cm] Oh, inside, oh yeah, oh yeah
Man, your blessings, [G] [F] [C] they took good care of these kids of mine
Baby, [G] make these tears I can hold [F] inside
[C]
But it might not seem
[G]
Because to [A] me, Lord, [Am]
you could've told [F] me yourself
[C]
Not to love [F] anybody else [C] instead
When I hurt [F] [C] you, don't you be [F] mad
You were to be [C] my good lord
So I was
[F] lucky enough to lose [C] my [F] mind
[Cm] Oh, inside, oh yeah, oh yeah
[F] Man, your blessings, they took good care of these kids
[C]
[F] [C]
[F] [C]
[F] of mine
Baby, make these [C] tears I
[F] [Am]
[F] can hold [C] inside
But [F] it might not seem
Not to love anybody else instead
When I hurt you, don't you be mad
You were to be my good lord
So [C] I was lucky enough to lose my mind
