INTRO: D
D G A D
I sat at a bar having a beer trying to hold down the stew
G A D
When a stranger walked in, stood there beside me, and plopped down there like a fool
G A D
He started drinkin' then he started talkin' 'bout things that were wrong in his life
G D A D
The more that I heard, the more I believed, the thing that was wrong was his wife
D G A D
He said you talk about beauty, when we first met she was all that a man could desire
G A D
Talk about love, one night with her would set your very soul afire
G A D
But love's little flame is out of control, 'bout 3 feet high from behind
G D A D
Since we've been married I've come to believe that love is of the dumb and the blind, no offense
D G A D
You talk about ugly, when she gets mad, she goes from Jekyll to Hyde
G A D
She grits her teeth, then her eyes roll back, pivot from side to side
G A D
She completely rewrites the whole English language, 4-letter, descriptive and loud
G D A D
Now I can't out-think her, but I can sure out-drink her, and that's what I'm doin' here now
G D
'Cause I've spent 7 years with the wrong woman
G D
Seven and goin' on eight
G D
She spent 7 years naggin' and eatin'
A
I'm over-wrought and she's overweight
G D
If I try leavin' she has me arrested
G D
Takes her own sweet time gettin' me out
G D
If she ain't number 1, she's in the top 2
A D
Of the things I could live without
G D
Men commit murder and all kinds of mayhem
G D
In a few years they're back on the street
G D
Highway robbery and white collar crime
A
And they laugh at the system they reap
G D
Sometimes I'm tempted, sometimes I'm ashamed
G D
Of the things the law will allow
G D
I coulda killed her when I first met her
A D
And I'd a been out of jail by now
