[Verse 1]
        C/G
        I sat at a bar having a beer

          F        G           C/G
        Tryin' to hold down the stool
When a stranger walked in - stood there beside me
              F            G           C/G
        And plopped down there like a fool
He started drinkin' then he started talkin'
                F                G          C/G
        About things that were wrong in his life

             F                    C/G
        The more that i heard the more i believed

                             G           C/G
        The thing that was wrong was his wife
[Verse 2]
        C/G
        You talk about beauty,when we first met

      F                G          C/G
        She was all a man could desire
Talk about love,one night with her
      F                      G      C/G
        Would set your very soul on fire
But loves little flame is out of control
      F                   G          C/G
        About three feet high from behind

      F                                         C/G
        Ever since we've been married,well i've come to believe

                             G            C/G
        That love's for the dumb and the blind
[Verse 3]
        C/G
        'Cause you talk about ugly,when she gets mad

      F                G             C/G
        She goes from Jekill to Hyde
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
      F                 G      C/G
        And pivot from side to side
She completely rewrites the whole English language
             F     G             C/G
        Descriptive,four-lettered and loud

              F                         C/G
        Now i can't out think her,but i can sure out drink her

                                   G       C/G
        And that's what i'm doing here now
[Verse 4]
         F                              C/G
        I've spent seven years with the wrong woman

         F                       C/G
        Seven and going on eight

         F                     C/G
        She spent seven years naggin' and eatin'

                              G
        I'm overwrought and she's overweight

         F             C/G
        If i try leavin' she has me arrested

         F                                     C/G
        And takes her own sweet time gettin' me out

         F                    C/G
        If she ain't number one,she's in the top two

        F                       G      C/G
        Of things that i could live without
[Verse 5]
         F                    C/G
        Men commit murder and all kinds of mayhem

           F                                 C/G
        In a few years they're back on the streets

         F                   C/G
        Highway robbery and white collar crime

                                           G
        And they laugh at the system they beat

             F                      C/G
        Sometimes i'm tempted - sometimes i'm ashamed

                 F                        C/G
        Of the things that the law will allow

           F                    C/G
        I could have killed her when i first met her

                                  G      C/G
        And i'd have been out of jail by now

           F                    C/G
        I could have killed her when we first met

                                   G      C/G
        And i've have been out of jail by now
