Thats My Story - Collin Raye
[Verse 1]
[C] I came in as the sun came up
[C] She glared at me over her coffee cup
She said, [F] "Where've you been?" So I thought real hard
And said, "I [C] fell asleep in that hammock in the yard"
She said, [G] "You don't know it, boy, but you just blew it"
Well I said [C] "that's my story and I'm sticking to it."
|[Chorus]
|[F] That's my story Oh [C] that's my story
|Well I [G] ain't got a witness and I can't prove it
|But [C] that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
[Verse 2]
[C] I got that deer in the headlights look
[C] She read my face like a cover of a book
and said, [F] "don't expect me to believe all that static
[C] Cause just last week I threw that hammock in the attic
My [G] skin got so thin you could see right through it
And I stuttered [C] "that's my story and I'm stic-sticking to it"
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[C] [Bb] [F] [C]
(soken) 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 3]
[C] Honey me and boys played cards all night
[C] No hanky panky not a woman in sight
I [F] know I should have called and baby I-I'm real sorry
[C] Let's get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry
You [G] know how much I love ya and darling I'm ready to prove it
[C] That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
|[Chorus]
|[F] That's my story Oh [C] that's my story
|Well I [G] ain't got a witness and I can't prove it
|But [C] that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
[Outro]
You know [G] I ain't going to do a thing unless you approve it
That's [C] my story and I'm sticking to it.
