Maybe I Shouldn’t – Matt Bordens
-- = pause
++ = pause with 2 knocks
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Well I was sittin' at home
G
Got a call on my phone from my buddy --
A
Asked if he'd stop by the store
D
And pick up a case a beer ++
He said, "Wish I could, but hey Matt
G
I ain't got the money" --
A
I said, "Get on back, don't you worry
D
The party is going on here" ++
Got girls runnin' round in the kitchen
G
They're all half naked ++
A
I'm hopin' and prayin' to God
D
They stay the night ++
G
And I'm thinkin' that maybe I shouldn't
A
But I say, "What the hell, c'mon boys
D
Let's have a good time"
[Chorus]
D G
Honey I know you're home sleepin'
A D
And I'm out runnin' wild
G
Don't you ever forget that
A D
They call me the wild child
[Verse 2]
Walked out on the back porch
G
And talked to a purty lady ++
A
She came up to me and
D
Had asked me for a light ++
I said, "Whatcha smokin'?
G
Marlboros or marijuana?" --
A
She said, "Both" with a grin
D
"But I like the coke and lime" ++
Well we don't need Scooby Doo
G
To solve this mystery ++
A
It's clear to see the "want me"
D
In your eyes ++
G
And I'm thinkin' that maybe I shouldn't
A
My girl wouldn't know
D
But still, it just wouldn't seem right
[Chorus]
D G
Honey I know you're home sleepin'
A D
And I'm out runnin' wild
G
Don't you ever forget that
A D
They call me the wild child
[Verse 3]
(whistle)
D G — A D ++ D G ++ A D --
D
We ran outta beer
G
Broke out a half gallon of Jager ++
A
I took off the top
D
And passed it around ++
I said, "Hey lady,
G
Do you want the grand tour?" --
A
I took her upstairs, closed the door,
D
And laid her down
[Refrain] x2
D G
Honey I know you're home sleepin'
A D
And I'm out runnin' wild
G
Don't you ever forget that
A D
They call me the wild child
