D# G# D#
Well I know you hate my drinkin' And the way I talk some-times
A# D#
But you hate it most when I don't call at night
D# G#
And it's just because you love me And you worry about your man
D# G# D# A# D#
You do the best you can with who I am
CHORUS:
G# D#
Burnin' both ends of a candle Can leave one in the dark
G# D# A#
And I know what I put you through is hard upon your heart
G# D# G#
And it's just that you're concerned for me Sweet-heart I under-stand
D# G# D# A# D#
You do the best you can with who I am
D# G# D#
You go to church on Sunday While I'm still home in bed
A# D#
Sleepin' off the night I had be-fore
D# G#
And some-times you say I'm perfect And sometimes not worth a damn
D# G# D# A# D# G#
You do the best you can with who I am
Chorus
ENDING:
D# G# D# A# D#
You do the best you can with who I am
