[Intro]
| C | G7 | C | C |
[Verse 1]
C C I got back in town a day before I'd planned to G7 C C7 I smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife F C I don't think I'll phone, I'll just head on home C G7 C For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life
[Verse 2]
C C I passed a little wine store on the corner G7 C C7 I pictured pink champagne by candlelight F C I stopped the car right then got out and hurried in C G7 C C7 My mind not on the cold hard facts of life
[Verse 3]
F C A stranger stood there laughing by the counter G7 C C7 He said "I'll take two bottles of your best F C Her husband's out of town and there's a party" C G7 He winkled as if to say "You know the rest"
[Verse 4]
C C I left the store two steps behind the stranger G7 C C7 From there to my house his car stayed in sight F C But it wasn't till he turned into my drive that I learned C G7 C C7 I was witnessing the cold hard facts of life
[Verse 5]
F C I drove around the block till I was dizzy G7 C C7 Each time the noise came louder from within F C And then I saw our bottle there beside me C G7 And I drank a fifth of courage and walked in
[Verse 6]
C C Lord you should've seen their frantic faces G7 C C7 They screamed and cried please put away that knife F C I guess I'll go to hell or I'll rot here in the cell C G7 C But who taught who the cold hard facts of life C G7 C Who taught who the cold hard facts of life
