[Chorus]
D G D
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
G A7
That she's not here with me tonight
D G D G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
D A7 D
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
[Verse 1]
G G7 G
We started having problems in August last year
G7 G
So things have been kinda rough for quite awhile
G7 G
And you know how you think it'll work itself out
A7
Well mister that thought's wrong by a long long mile
[Chorus]
D G D
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
G A7
That she's not here with me tonight
D G D G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
D A7 D
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
[Verse 2]
G G7 G
I might should have seen we were drifting apart
G7 G
But I was in what I guess you'd call denial
G7 G
And I had always heard them say you were the last one to know
A7
Well buddy I was last by a long long mile
[Chorus]
D G D
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
G A7
That she's not here with me tonight
D G D G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
D A7 D
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
[Verse 3]
G
Okay we both have a tendency to overreact
G7 G
So I can't really tell you who's at fault
G7
But there were certain third parties well her sister for one
A7
That helped bring our reconciling to a drop dead halt
[Chorus]
D G D
Aren't you sorry you asked me the reason
G A7
She's not here with me tonight
D G D G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
D A7 D
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
D A7 D
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
D A7 D
I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
Ending
G G7 G
Did I tell you how she tried to have me locked out of the house
G7 G
Had to go hire a lawyer and all
G G7
But I know that was mostly her family's idea
A7
I could hear them tell her what to say every time I called
[Fade out]
D G D
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
G A7
That she's not here with me tonight
D G D G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
D A7 D
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
D A7 D
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
