[Verse 1]
C/G
I sat at a bar having a beer
F G C/G
Tryin' to hold down the stool
When a stranger walked in - stood there beside me
F G C/G
And plopped down there like a fool
He started drinkin' then he started talkin'
F G C/G
About things that were wrong in his life
F C/G
The more that i heard the more i believed
G C/G
The thing that was wrong was his wife
[Verse 2]
C/G
You talk about beauty,when we first met
F G C/G
She was all a man could desire
Talk about love,one night with her
F G C/G
Would set your very soul on fire
But loves little flame is out of control
F G C/G
About three feet high from behind
F C/G
Ever since we've been married,well i've come to believe
G C/G
That love's for the dumb and the blind
[Verse 3]
C/G
'Cause you talk about ugly,when she gets mad
F G C/G
She goes from Jekill to Hyde
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
F G C/G
And pivot from side to side
She completely rewrites the whole English language
F G C/G
Descriptive,four-lettered and loud
F C/G
Now i can't out think her,but i can sure out drink her
G C/G
And that's what i'm doing here now
[Verse 4]
F C/G
I've spent seven years with the wrong woman
F C/G
Seven and going on eight
F C/G
She spent seven years naggin' and eatin'
G
I'm overwrought and she's overweight
F C/G
If i try leavin' she has me arrested
F C/G
And takes her own sweet time gettin' me out
F C/G
If she ain't number one,she's in the top two
F G C/G
Of things that i could live without
[Verse 5]
F C/G
Men commit murder and all kinds of mayhem
F C/G
In a few years they're back on the streets
F C/G
Highway robbery and white collar crime
G
And they laugh at the system they beat
F C/G
Sometimes i'm tempted - sometimes i'm ashamed
F C/G
Of the things that the law will allow
F C/G
I could have killed her when i first met her
G C/G
And i'd have been out of jail by now
F C/G
I could have killed her when we first met
G C/G
And i've have been out of jail by now
