She took all my money, wrecked my new car, Now she's with one of my good time buddies Drinkin in some cross town bar Bm7 D7 E7 CHORUS: Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, | A D C | Like I've been tied to the whippin' post | A D C | Tied to the whippin' post, | A D C | Tied to the whippin' post, | C Tacet - Good lord I feel like I'm dying. My friends tell me that I've been such a fool, And I have to stand by and take if, baby, all for loving you. Drown myself in sorrow and I look at what you've done, But nothing seems to change, the bad times stay the same And I can't go on
