D6 ( A D with A muted B string ) Chorus:

Confi^Cdentially, she never called me ^Gbaby-doll Confi^Cdentially, I never had much ^Gpride But ^Cnow I rock a bar stool and I ^Gdrink for two Just ^Dpondering this ^Ctime bomb in my ^Dmind.

Bridge: ( Noise ) Verse 3: I could shake my tiny fist And swear I wasn't wrong, But what's the sense in arguing When you're all alone' Sure as you can't steer a train You can't change your fate When she told me off that day I knew I'd lost my home. D6 Chorus: Confidentially, I never told you of her charms. Confidentially, we never had a home, But this railroad apartment was the perfect place When she'd sit and hold me in her arms. (Repeat 2nd verse)
