[Verse 1]
C/GI sat at a bar having a beer
TrFyin' to hGold down theC/G stool
When a stranger walked in - stood there beside me
And plFopped down thGere like a fC/Gool
He started drinkin' then he started talkin'
About thFings that were wrGong in his C/Glife
The mFore that i heard the C/Gmore i believed
The thing that was wrGong was his C/Gwife
[Verse 2]
C/GYou talk about beauty,when we first met
F She was all a mGan could deC/Gsire
Talk about love,one night with her
F Would set your very sGoul on C/Gfire
But loves little flame is out of control
F About three feet hGigh from beC/Ghind
F Ever since we've been married,well i've C/Gcome to believe
That love's for the dGumb and the bC/Glind
[Verse 3]
C/G'Cause you talk about ugly,when she gets mad
F She goes from JGekill to Hyde C/G
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
F And pivot from sGide to C/Gside
She completely rewrites the whole English language
DescrFiptiveG,four-letteredC/G and loud
Now i Fcan't out think her,but i C/Gcan sure out drink her
And that's what i'm doing hGere now C/G
[Verse 4]
IF've spent seven years with the C/Gwrong woman
SFeven and going on eight C/G
SFhe spent seven years nC/Gaggin' and eatin'
I'm overwrought and shGe's overweight
IFf i try leavinC/G' she has me arrested
AFnd takes her own sweet time gettin' meC/G out
IFf she ain't number onC/Ge,she's in the top two
FOf things that i could lGive witC/Ghout
[Verse 5]
MFen commit murder and C/Gall kinds of mayhem
In Fa few years they're back on the stC/Greets
HFighway robbery and wC/Ghite collar crime
And they laugh at the system they bGeat
SometFimes i'm tempted - someC/Gtimes i'm ashamed
Of the thFings that the law will alC/Glow
I cFould have killed her C/Gwhen i first met her
And i'd have been out of jGail by C/Gnow
I cFould have killed her C/Gwhen we first met
And i've have been out of jGail by C/Gnow
