[Verse 1]
The Gwalk in is B7empty on the Cright side of the Gbedroom
The Cdrawers and the Gdressers are Aempty and Dbare
She took Gall of her B7records and Call the good Gdishes
There’s Chardly a Gsign that a Dwoman’s been Gthere
She took the GEmmy I B7bought her, she Cdidn't steal my GNelson
She's Csworn off us Ggingers, Aso it would Dseem
But I Gbet you good B7money if she’s Crunnin with Ganother
He Cdon't hold a Gflame to the Dlikeness of Gme

There’s a Gnote on the B7table, I'm Cskimming it Gover
As the Crain beats Gdown on the Atin roof outDside
And I Gcan’t help but B7notice that Cspiteful young Gwoman
Ran Cout with my Gclothes left to Dsoak on the Gline
I Cdon't underGstand, I'm a Clikeable Gman
How the Chell could she Gleave this Dbehind
There’s Gquestions big as B7oceans floatin’ Cround in my Gmind
But the Cone I keep Gaskin’ is the Dwonderin’ oh Gwhy

With Clovin and Gsix strings I'll Dsurely Gsurvive
With Clovin and Gsix strings I'll Dsurely Gsurvive
