Watched the Gsun come with all my Dgood timin' friends
We all Dknow how the story Aends

DI-V-O-R-C-E
Pulled my Dtruck, right up in the Ayard
Said some Gthings about her momma and she Dtook it kinda hard
And my Dget outta jail free Acard
DGot used up way Aback in '03
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She Gdon't think that it's cute anyDmore
To see me Abegging on my knees outDside her front door
I could Gtry to win her back but what Dfor
She's E7heard all my excuses beAfore
[Chorus 1]
This ain't the Gfirst time, she's thrown me out
And Dsent me packin' to sleep on the couch
I Aknow too well what that's all about
This ain't the Dfirst timeD  
This ain't the Gfirst time, she's said we're through
But I'm Dstartin' to believe it might be true
And I Adon't think that I'm sorry is a-gonna do
               G*    G*                 D*    D*
This ain't the first time, but it's the worst time
[Instrumental 1]

[Verse 2]
If she's Dright, Lord knows I'm Awrong
Keepin' her Gup each night singin' the Dsame ole song
Don't know Dwhy she's let me live this Along
There Gmust of been some love there but I Athink that it's gone
You could Dsay I took it too Afar
And when it Gcomes to screwin' up, well I Dget the gold star
Cause this Dtime when I got home from the Abar
I Dfind all of my clothes thrown all Aover the lawn
[Pre-Chorus 2]
She's Gchanged the locks and unplugged the Dphone
She's Ahad it up to here and she's Dmaking it known
She's Gthrown out everything that I Down
I E7best be gettin used to bein' aAlone
[Chorus 2]
This ain't the Gfirst time, her foot's come down
DSmack dab on top of this stupid clown
ASendin' shock waves all over town
This ain't the Dfirst timeD  
This ain't the Gfirst time she's walked away
Leavin me Don my knees without a word to say
But if I Aopened my mouth it would get worse anyway
               G*    G*                D*    D*
This ain't the first time but it's the worst time
