F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7 F#m7Sneakin out the back door, to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine

F#m7 B7 F#m7 B7 F#m7Greeted at the back door with "Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside",

C#7 D#7 G#m7 Bm6Tryin your best to bring the water to your eyes

C#7 D#7 G#m7 C#7#5#9Thinkin it might stop her from whoopin' your behind
