Thats My Story

Bb I came in as the sun came up Bb She glared at me over her coffee cup Eb She said, "Where've you been?" So I thought real hard Bb And said, "I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard" F She said, "You don't know it, boy, but you just blew it" Bb Well I said "that's my story and I'm sticking to it." Eb Bb That's my story Oh that's my story F Well I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it Bb But that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Bb I got that deer in the headlights look Bb She read my face like a cover of a book Eb and said, "don't expect me to believe all that static Bb Cause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic F My skin got so thin you could see right through it Bb And I stuttered "that's my story and I'm stic-sticking to it" Eb Bb That's my story Oh that's my story F Well I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it Bb But that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Bb Ab Eb 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) Bb Honey me and boys played cards all night Bb No hanky panky not a woman in sight Eb I 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 F You 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. Eb Bb That's my story Oh that's my story F Well I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it Bb But that's my story and I'm sticking to it. F You know I ain't going to do a thing unless you approve it Bb That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
