[Verse 1]
C                  F         C
I make a promise a day to my baby
            F                 C
I break the promise a day somehow
                   F         C
She says I'm gonna drive her crazy
    D7                       G
But I'm too old for changin' now
     C             F           C
I've always had an eye for the ladies
F                      C
Don't behave the way I should
      F                      C                F
But before we met I had some times I can’t forget
                 G          C
And baby it's so hard to be good

[Verse 2]
                  F      C
Now a cute little gal in Waco
    F                   C
Was once mighty kind to me
                   F   C
A little blonde in San Diego
      D7              G7
Burns holes in my memory
   C               F      C
My book of love is almost written
  F                 C
I loved every gal I could
             F
But when you get my age
         C        F
You want one last page
                 G          C
And baby it's so hard to be good
C
Ain’t that right Jack

[Verse 3]
                       F      C
Now my heart's full of good intentions
  F                    C
I try hard to walk the line
                 F        C
But memory's too sweet to mention
      D7                    G    G7
Keeps sneakin' back into my mind
C         F      C
Woman you know I love you
  F                    C
I prove it every way I could
             F
But when you get my age
         C        F
You want one last page
                 G          C
And baby it's so hard to be good

And baby it's so hard to be good
