[Verse 1]
G Em I lost my lucky ball & chain C D And now she's four years gone G Em Just five feet tall and sick of me C D G And all my rattling on G Em She threw away her baby-doll C D I held on to my pride G Em But I was young and foolish then C D G I feel old and foolish now
D6
[Chorus]
C G Confidentially, she never called me baby-doll C G Confidentially, I never had much pride C G But now I rock a bar stool and I drink for two D C D N.C. Just pondering this time bomb in my mind
[Verse 2]
G Em I lost my lucky ball & chain C D And now she's four years gone G Em Just five feet tall and sick of me C D G And all my rattling on G Em She walked away from a happy man C D I thought I was so cool G Em I just stood there whistling C D G Em "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door C D G There goes the bride as she walked out the door
[Bridge]
(Noise)
[Verse 3]
G Em I could shake my tiny fist C D And swear I wasn't wrong G Em But what's the sense in arguing C D G When you're all alone? G Em Sure as you can't steer a train C D You can't change your fate G Em And when she told me off that day C D G I knew I'd lost my home
D6
[Chorus]
C G Confidentially, I never told you of her charms C G Confidentially, we never had a home C G But this railroad apartment was the perfect place D C D N.C. When she'd sit and hold me in her arms
[Verse 4]
G Em I lost my lucky ball & chain C D And now she's four years gone G Em Just five feet tall and sick of me C D G And all my rattling on G Em She walked away from a happy man C D I thought I was so cool G Em I just stood there whistling C D G Em "There goes the bride" as she walked out the door C D G Em There goes the bride as she walked out the door C D G Em C D There goes the bride as she walked out the door
