Born That Way

C                  F             G7                   C
I don't know why I drink so much can't even stand the taste

    F                                  C
But liquid courage helps me through my day

                  F                  G7                 C
If I take time to stop and think the booze just goes to waste

    F              G7                    C
I'm still the same cause I was born that way


                       F                G7             C
My love walked out and momma cried I've heard she even cursed

    F                              C
And said I'm turnin' all my family gray

                    F               G7                       C
Of all the kids she raised no doubt Stonewall turned out the worst

F                 G7                  C
Guess I must have just been born that way


        G7                        C
I guess there's a streak of sorry buried in each man

F                            G7
And it only shows up now and then

     C             F           G7                 C
Mine wasn't buried deep enough it's got the upper hand

           D7                              G7
Cause that line between the good and bad's so thin


    C                F           G7               C
The preacher said my only chance was to be borned again

   F                                   C
So I got baptized and tried so hard to pray

                    F                  G7                  C
But the devil in me laughed and danced when I went back to sin

F                 G7                  C
Guess I must have just been born that way


F                G7                    C
I'm just no good cause I was born that way

F             G7                     C
What can I do when I was born that a way
