Capo on 2nd fret

Intro    A   D/B   A/C#   D 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(verse 1) 
A        D/B         A/C#               D 
Tommy's daddy kept a six pack in the fridge, 
A                                Esus             E 
We thought we were old enough to do what daddy's did, 
A                 D/B         A/C#              D 
It didn't take us long to from drunk to really sick 
A                            Esus            E 
When I walked in my house I stumbled just a bit, 
 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
    F#m             F#m/F 
You play it cool but it's no use,  
     A               F#m/D#     
Dad ain't no fool and that's the truth, 
 D                               Esus E 
Chewin gum won't cover up that smell, 
F#m                F#m/F 
You can't hide one single though, 
A                  F#m/D#  
If you try you'll just get caught, 
       D       E               A   Aadd13   A   Aadd13 
When somebody knows you that, well 
 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
A        D/B      A/C#            D 
We lost daddy in Nineteen Ninety Nine 
A                           Esus             E 
I took care of everybody's pain, except for mine, 
A            D/B              A/C#               D 
And then one night my wife took my face in her hands, 
A                            Esus              E 
She said I think it's time you cry for your old man 
 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
    F#m             F#m/F 
You play it cool but it's no use,  
     A               F#m/D# 
She ain't no fool and that's the truth, 
 D                      Esus E 
And my teardrops finally fell, 
F#m                F#m/F 
You can't hide one single though, 
A                 F#m/D#  
If you try you'll just get caught, 
       D       E               A   Aadd13   A   Aadd13 
When somebody knows you that, well 
 
 
 
 
(verse 3) 
A                D/B        A/C#            D 
I could probably do more to help my fellow man, 
A                         Esus            E 
But life gets buisy and I hope God understand, 
A           D/B             A/C#              D 
Someday when I get time I'll do more than my share, 
A                               Esus           E 
Funny how I'm thinkin this sittin in my easy chair, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
    F#m             F#m/F 
You play it cool but it's no use,  
     A               F#m/D# 
God ain't no fool and that's the truth, 
    D                        Esus E 
And he won't let you fool yourself, 
F#m                F#m/F 
You can't hide one single though, 
    A               F#m/D#  
If you try you'll just get caught, 
       D       E               A   Aadd13   A6   B 
When somebody knows you that, well 
       D       E               A   D/B   A/C#   D   A 
When somebody knows you that, well
