Take off your shoes, hang up your wings
Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug
Savor the things that sobriety brings
D7 D7sus4 D7 D7sus2 D7 (then a single note run..G on the bass Estring,then D E F
the D string...)
Drain in the last from a jug
But when I hit the bottle, there's no tellin' what I'll do
'Cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue
I can't resist you, I can't wait
To twist your loving arms 'til you capitulate
Beat me in the kitchen, and I'll beat you in the hall
There's nothing I love better than a free for all
To take your pretty neck and see which way it bends
But when it is all over we will still be friends
Wave a white flag, put away the pistol
Too many people just can't get kissed
But if there's nothin' I can do to make amends, baby
Hope you don't mur-der me
Oh, was it all right, or was it o--kay
I'll make it all up to you someday
Oh, but you didn't have to laugh that way
Oh, no, you didn't have to laugh that way
Wave a white flag, put away the pistol
Too many people just can't get kissed
But if there's nothin' I can do to make amends, baby
Hope you don't mur-der me
Gee, baby, hope you don't mur---der me
