[Intro]
AShe says her mind is F#mmade up.
AShe's fought the feeling's F#mlong enough.
DShe can't find Clove or her Gself in her Aheart.
ASays: "We got together F#mway too young."
An' Athen there's me here F#mstill in love,
DWatchin' the ties that Cbind us Gfallin' a Apart.
[Verse]
First she Dasks for freedom an' she D/C#says that she's leavin'.
I say Bmno 'cause I need her, then Adown comes the hammer.
When DI can't take her, I say D/C#I'll sign the papers.
She Bmcries an' she won't take A"Yes" for an answer:
CHow am I supposed to Dchoose,
When it's Cheads she wins, Dtails I Alose.
[Chorus]
She bought some Alittle dresses an' got a F#mbig tattoo.
ASays I don't understand what F#mshe's goin' through:
DMaybe middle-age Ccrazy or Gjust tired of Aus.
AAn' maybe I'm foolish F#mtryin' to make it work,
ABut I made this promise: "For F#mbetter or worse",
DAn' I'd do anything to make her Chappy, if I Gjust knew what it Awas.
[Repeat Chorus]
I've Eworked so hard,
    Tried so long 
                            DN.C.
It's like everything I do is wrong
[Repeat Chorus]
CHow am I supposed to Dchoose,
When it's Cheads she wins, Dtails I Alose.
