I Afell for you my Ddarling Ddear G  D  A  D  G  A  D  
GYou shut me off and you Dshowed me the Adoor
But you Dalways came Gcrawling back Abegging me for Dmore
BmI showed you kindness, a Gstool, and a tab
Then you Dpoured me my Gpain in a Adirty Dglass
(Yeah, Gyou left him bloody, battered, Dpenniless, and Apoor)
You know, I Doften stopped and Gwondered how you Amade it through my Ddoor
With my Bmbrother's new non-duplicate Gregistry ID
Well you Dbit off more than Gyou could chew the Afirst day you Dmet me.
[Chorus]

You Gweren't the first to court me mister Dyou won't be the Alast
Oh, I'm Dsure I wasn't Ghoney, I know Aall about your Dpast
BmListen to the big shot with his Gpager on call
You spent Dmost of those Gnights in my Abathroom Dstall
(Yeah, Gyou got him high, but you Dleft him Alow)
DMind your own Gbusiness, boy, Ahow was I to Dknow
That Bmhe was just a fiend and a Gno-good cheat
Well it's Dall in the Gpast bitch 'cause Anow I've got it Dbeat.
[Chorus] (x4)

You Dleft me dying, Acrying there
DIn whiskey, gin, and Gpints of beer
