D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7 D#m7Sneakin out the back door, to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine

D#m7 G#7 D#m7 G#7 D#m7Greeted at the back door with "Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside",

A#7 C7 Fm7 G#m6Tryin your best to bring the water to your eyes

A#7 C7 Fm7 A#7#5#9Thinkin it might stop her from whoopin' your behind
