GUILTY- Bonnie Raitt

Yes baby, I've been drinkin
A Am D
Ya, I shouldn't come by I know
E C# C
But I found myself in trouble, darlin'
B E A E B7
And I had no place else to go
E E7
Got some whiskey from a bottle
A Am D
Got some cocaine from a friend
E C# C
And I had to keep on movin' babe
B E A E E7
Till' I was back in your arms again
A Am
But I'm guilty, yes I'm guilty
E B E (bass F# G# B)
And I'll be guilty all the rest of my life
A Am D
How come I never do, what I'm supposed to do

Nothing I try to do ever turns out right
E E7 A
You know how it is with me baby,

For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
