  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

  	About things that were wrong in his life

               F                    C/G  

  	The more that i heard the more i believed

        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

  	Descriptive,four-lettered and loud

                F                         C/G

           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

  	Men commit murder and all kinds of mayhem

             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
