That's My Story — Collin Raye
Chords and lyrics for That's My Story by Collin Raye (key of D#).
Verse
[Bb]I came in as the sun came up
[Bb]She glared at me over her coffee cup
She said, [Eb]"Where've you been?" So I thought real hard
And said, "I [Bb]fell asleep in that hammock in the yard"
She said, [F]"You don't know it, boy, but you just blew it"
Well I said [Bb]"that's my story and I'm sticking to it."
Chorus
[Eb]That's my story Oh [Bb]that's my story
Well I [F]ain't got a witness and I can't prove it
But [Bb]that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Verse
[Bb]I got that deer in the headlights look
[Bb]She read my face like a cover of a book
and said, [Eb]"don't expect me to believe all that static
[Bb]Cause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic
My [F]skin got so thin you could see right through it
And I stuttered [Bb]"that's my story and I'm stic-sticking to it"
Chorus
[Eb]That's my story Oh [Bb]that's my story
Well I [F]ain't got a witness and I can't prove it
But [Bb]that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Bridge
[Db] [Ab] [Eb] [F] [Bb]
(You know the time comes when a wise man knows the best that he can do
Is just look her in the eye and beg for mercy and face the bitter truth)
Verse
[Bb]Honey me and boys played cards all night
[Bb]No hanky panky not a woman in sight
I [Eb]know I should have called and baby I-I'm real sorry
[Bb]Let's get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry
You [F]know how much I love ya and darling I'm ready to prove it
[Bb]That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Chorus
[Eb]That's my story Oh [Bb]that's my story
Well I [F]ain't got a witness and I can't prove it
But [Bb]that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Outro
You know [F]I ain't going to do a thing unless you approve it
That's [Bb]my story and I'm sticking to it.
