Pick Me Ups
Recorded by Jim Ed Brown
Written by Buck Graves

G                                                     G7
You wonder why I'm gone so much and come home late at night
      C                                   G               D7
While you sit there and swear the way I'm living can't be right
   G                                              G7
It seems to bring you joy serene to nag me to the ground
        C               G              D7             G
So I'll be out drinking pick me ups so you can put me down

                                                       G7
You've never tried to look inside and find the good in me
    C                               G                  D7
How could you know I love you so my faults are all you see
    G                                           G7
The only time I feel at home is when I'm on the town
        C               G              D7             G
So I'll be out drinking pick me ups so you can put me down

   C              G                  D7            G
It wouldn't do to cheat on you and I wouldn't if I could
     C                   G             A7                   D7
This heart of mine won't let my mind believe that you're no good
     G                                                G7
I'll just play dumb until they come and put me in the ground
     C               G                 D7               G
Then I won't need no pick me ups cause you can't put me down
   C                G                 D7               G
No I won't need the pick me ups cause you can't put me down
