Well, I [D]wished I was in [G]Austin, [D]mmm-mmm
In the [D]Chili Parlour [A]Bar drinkin' [D]Mad Dog Margaritas

Just [D]rollin' [A]cigarettes
[D]Holdin' back and chokin' back
The [G]shakes with every [D]breath
Chorus
So, [A]forgive me all my anger
[D]Forgive me all my faults
There's [A]no need to forgive me
For [D]thinkin' what I thought

And I'll [D]love you till I die
I [A]loved you on the Spanish steps
The [G]day you said [D]goodbye

Now [D]I am just a [G]poor boy, [D]mmm-mmm
[D]Work's my middle [A]name, if [D]money was a reason
Well, I [G]would not be the [D]same
I'll [D]stand up and be [G]counted, [D]mmm-mmm
I'll [D]face up to the [A]truth
I'll [D]walk away from trouble
But I can't [G]walk away from [D]you
