[Verse 1]
G                     A7
I often think back to so many years ago

F                                     D7
When the garden of our love had grown thin

G                                      A7
You dumped me and slapped me and threw insults at me

Am         D7
Much to my chagrin

G                                    A7
‘Twas a nasty breakup, hard feelings all around

F                     D7
And to add to my pain within,

G                                       A7
You blocked me and mocked me and out of pictures you cropped me

Am                     D7            G
But your parents still like me, so I win
[Bridge 1]
B7                                      Em
You know you played with my heart for a real long time

B7                  Em
The damage there is done

E7                             A7
You crushed my soul you didn’t leave me whole

D7                 G
And then just for fun

B7                             Em
You sold my credit card on the Internet

B7                       Em
and taught my parrot to swear

E7                       A7
You slashed my tires and keyed my car

D7                             G
And you poured hot sauce in my underwear
[Verse 2]
G                      A7
It’s petty, I know, to play this game

F                          D7
I’m not fighting fair it’s true

G                                            A7
But all’s fair in love and war and this was love so therefore

Am                           D7
If you play by the rules you lose

G                          A7
I tell you now, though my pride is marred

F                   D7
My self esteem in a tailspin

G                         A7
I still get your family’s Christmas card

Am                     D7             G
And your parents still like me, so I win
[Bridge 2]
B7                                       Em
You see your dad calls me every Tuesday evening, now to trade

B7       Em
barbeque recipes

E7                               A7
I'm the president of your Mama's book club now

D7                               G
This month we're reading War and Peace

B7                               Em
And I helped them balance their checkbook, too

B7                        Em
Got their finances consolidated

E7                                         A7
And I play cribbage at the deli with your grandma, now

D7                   G
But that's, um, unrelated
[Verse 3]
G                  A7
Life’s been tough, I will admit

F                 D7
Since we have bid adieu

G                       A7
You have my heart on a string

Am                             D7
And you have one of my kidneys too.

G                          A7
But my friends will always have my back and

F                           D7
you are my friends’ next of kin

G                           A7
So try as you might to derail my delight

Am                 D7            G
Your parents still like me, so I win
