              (chorus) 
D               A       D                 G 
Sleepin' on the foldout, thanks to me and my big mouth 
D                    A   D                        A 
Why did I do what I did, I shoulda' known better than to lie 
D                G               D               A           D 
It's to late and so tonight I'm sleepin' on the foldout sofa bed. 
 
A                                   D 
She wanted to me to go and see her family 
A                            D 
But I told her that I had to work 
A                                      D 
I never dreamed she'd get home so dang early 
    G                       A 
She caught me cleanin' fish out on our back porch, so now I'm? 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
A                                      D 
I can't believe they call this thing a mattress 
A                        D 
It's 2 a.m. and I'm wide awake 
A                                 D 
Lookin' back I shoulda' just been honest 
           G 
Instead of tellin' her the whole staff spent 
    A 
The day out on the lake, so now I'm? 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
G              D               A             D 
yeah, yeah I'm sleepin' on the fold out sofa bed.
