C/G I sat at a bar having a beer
Tr F yin' to h G old down the C/G stool
When a stranger walked in - stood there beside me
And pl F opped down th G ere like a f C/G ool
He started drinkin' then he started talkin'
About th F ings that were wr G ong in his C/G life
The m F ore that i heard the C/G more i believed
The thing that was wr G ong was his C/G wife
Verse 2:
C/G You talk about beauty,when we first met
F She was all a m G an could de C/G sire
Talk about love,one night with her
F Would set your very s G oul on C/G fire
But loves little flame is out of control
F About three feet h G igh from be C/G hind
F Ever since we've been married,well i've C/G come to believe
That love's for the d G umb and the b C/G lind
Verse 3:
C/G 'Cause you talk about ugly,when she gets mad
F She goes from J G ekill to Hyde C/G
She grits her teeth and her eyes roll back
F And pivot from s G ide to C/G side
She completely rewrites the whole English language
Descr F iptive G ,four-lettered C/G and loud
Now i F can't out think her,but i C/G can sure out drink her
And that's what i'm doing h G ere now C/G
Verse 4:
I F 've spent seven years with the C/G wrong woman
S F even and going on eight C/G

I'm overwrought and sh G e's overweight
I F f i try leavin C/G ' she has me arrested
A F nd takes her own sweet time gettin' me C/G out
I F f she ain't number on C/G e,she's in the top two
F Of things that i could l G ive wit C/G hout
Verse 5:

In F a few years they're back on the st C/G reets
H F ighway robbery and w C/G hite collar crime
And they laugh at the system they b G eat
Somet F imes i'm tempted - some C/G times i'm ashamed
Of the th F ings that the law will al C/G low
I c F ould have killed her C/G when i first met her
And i'd have been out of j G ail by C/G now
I c F ould have killed her C/G when we first met
And i've have been out of j G ail by C/G now
