[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
