E

[Verse]
    E
You knew when you first met me
        A
I was a good time kind of guy
    E
You wanted me to change my ways
  B7
I told you that I'd try
     E
I've gone from wild and crazy
   A
To taking out the trash
E
Girl, it's time to compromise
    B7                E
And give me a weekend pass (Walk-up to A)

[Chorus]
      A
I can walk the line, if it ain't too straight
E
I'll come home, but it might be late
  A                               B7
I ain't no devil, Lord I ain't no saint
E
Let out the rope
         Girl, give me some slack
A
This old dog will always come back
E                                   B7
Gotta bend the rules, and give me a break
      G        D           A             E
I can walk the line, if it ain't too str aight

[Verse]
      E
Well, I'll love you forever
         A
If I can have a few days off
     E
I'll buy you anything you want
   B7
If I can bear the cost
   E
If I ain't got to punch no clock
      A
Girl, you can be the boss
     E
I'll be your Mr. Perfect
           B7          E
If you can overlook my flaws (Walk-up to A)

[Chorus]
      A
I can walk the line, if it ain't too straight
E
I'll come home, but it might be late
  A                               B7
I ain't no devil, Lord I ain't no saint
E
Let out the rope
         Girl, give me some slack
A
This old dog will always come back
E                                   B7
Gotta bend the rules, and give me a break
      G        D           A             E
I can walk the line, if it ain't too str aight

[Bridge]
E
Let out the rope
         Girl, give me some slack
A
This old dog will always come back
E                                   B7
Gotta bend the rules, and give me a break
      G        D           A             E
I can walk the line, if it ain't too str aight

[Outro]
      G        D                                    E
I can walk the line, if it (No Chord) ain't too str aight
