Your Body Is An Outlaw

I can't help it if I'm crazy
        F               C
When it comes to loving you
                 F     C
I'll perform my  civic duties
         Dm          G7
Like the blues say I should do

      F               C
I'm a deacon at First Baptist
                           G7
My family treats me like a king
       F              C
And my wife is mostly happy
                     G7    C
Cause she don't know every-thing

         F          C
But your body is an outlaw
F                C
Stealing from my soul
            F                 C
Well I know hell could not be worse than
           G7     F
Not having you to hold

C
And I'm on my way to see you
       F                C
And to feel you feeling me
            F     C
In the satisfying shadow
               G7     C
Of what is and has to be
