BbCm Talking to death, crying on the telephone D# The nights when he drinks at home FBbCmF She has to whisper through her tears
BbCm Johnny, she says, could never do those things to me D# But I could never make her see FG She’s wasted such precious years CmFBb Well you married the wrong guy that’s all I ever say
Bridge: BbG He’s a no good so and so CmFD# But she’ll never let him go, though she knows it will never work
Chorus: BbD#Bb She loves the jerk, she loves the jerk
He was the guy always out on the make I guess he has what it takes To turn the head of pretty girls
She thought he might change, the worst of us can settle down But he couldn’t stay out of town Not even for this precious girl So she lives with the lies and the bumps and the bruises
Bridge + Chorus
