If I didn't know better I'd hang my hat right there
E Am
If I didn't know better I'd follow you up the stairs
Stop saying those sweet things you know I like to hear
E Am
The horns are blowing louder and they're destroying me
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Why do I keep drinking
Dm Am
Wasting my time on you
Dm E
If I didn't know better
But damnit

[Verse]
There's a hole in what you're saying
I can plainly see
You have a lover that's waiting but baby you're right here with me
Ooh
You might as well be the devil
Oh
Keeping me out past three
Oh
You're the one with that apple so baby you can't blame me
[Chorus]
Why don't you keep drinking
Get me one night with you
If I didn't know better
But damnit
I do
