Verse 1:
[C/G] I sat at a bar having a beer
T[F]ryin' to [G]hold down th[C/G]e stool
When a stranger walked in - stood there beside me
And p[F]lopped down t[G]here like a [C/G]fool
He started drinkin' then he started talkin'
About t[F]hings that were w[G]rong in his[C/G] life
The [F]more that i heard the[C/G] more i believed
The thing that was w[G]rong was his[C/G] wife
Verse 2:
[C/G] You talk about beauty,when we first met
[F] She was all a [G]man could d[C/G]esire
Talk about love,one night with her
[F] Would set your very [G]soul on[C/G] fire
But loves little flame is out of control
[F] About three feet [G]high from b[C/G]ehind
[F] Ever since we've been married,well i've[C/G] come to believe
That love's for the [G]dumb and the [C/G]blind
Verse 3:
[C/G] 'Cause you talk about ugly,when she gets mad
[F] She goes from [G]Jekill to Hyde[C/G]
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
[F] And pivot from [G]side to[C/G] side
She completely rewrites the whole English language
Desc[F]r i pt[G]ive,four-lette[C/G]red and loud
Now i[F] can't out think her,but i[C/G] can sure out drink her
And that's what i'm doing [G]here now[C/G]
Verse 4:
[F]I've spent seven years with the[C/G] wrong woman
[F]Seven and going on eight[C/G]
[F]She spent seven years [C/G]naggin' and eatin'
I'm overwrought and s[G]he's overweight
[F]If i try leavi[C/G]n' she has me arrested
[F]And takes her own sweet time gettin' m[C/G]e out
[F]If she ain't number o[C/G]ne,she's in the top two
[F]Of things that i could l[G]ive wit[C/G]hout
Verse 5:
[F]Men commit murder and[C/G] all kinds of mayhem
In[F] a few years they're back on the s[C/G]treets
[F]Highway robbery and [C/G]white collar crime
And they laugh at the system they [G]beat
Some[F]times i'm tempted - som[C/G]etimes i'm ashamed
Of the t[F]hings that the law will a[C/G]llow
I [F]could have killed her[C/G] when i first met her
And i'd have been out of [G]jail by[C/G] now
I c[F]ould have killed her [C/G]when we first met
And i've have been out of [G]jail by[C/G] now
