Capo 1st fret
[Intro]
  A    E   F#m    D4X
[Verse]
DI know I wasn't always good to you,
And oAne time I had some trouble when it came to bein' true
DBut if you're gone for good,  
Don't you think you could do better than WGalter?A  
DI'm sure that Walter is a stand-up guy.
AHe may never make you laugh,
DBut he'll never make you cry.
But can you really see yourself turnin' out just like WaGlter?A  
- WGhat is Walter gonna say when he finds out about the way
You uDsed to run, wild and free, when you were still in love with me?
GWhen he stumbles on photographs, the ones of us that you still have.
He sDees you're not the kind of girl that fits into his perfect world.
EmSo, before you meet him at the alGter,
EmRemember you're gonna hafta say "I GdoA" to WDalter A-
DI bet he never had his nose broke in a barroom fight
AOr got cussed by a country judge because of one crazy night.
DBut can you really see yourself turnin' out the lights
And turnin to WalGter?A  
- WGhat is Walter gonna say when he finds out about the way
You uDsed to run, wild and free, when you were still in love with me?
GWhen he stumbles on photographs, the ones of us that you still have.
He sDees you're not the kind of girl that fits into his perfect world.
