C Em F G7
When a man cheats on a woman it's understood he's just a man
F G7 C
But when a woman cheats on her man no one forgives
C7 F Fm
I drove her out into the night with teardrops in her eyes
C G7 C
And only now I realize the fool I've been
Em F C
Why couldn't I love her and try to understand her
Dm
Instead I said things that I regret
C F C
Why couldn't I just hold her and say it didn't matter
G7 C
Why couldn't I forgive and forget
Em F G7
It's not her fault she slipped one time she never was the cheating kind
F G7 C
But when a woman's unsatisfied she's bound to roam
C7 F Fm
But I got mad I just saw red I never heard a word she said
C G7 C
And what I'd give to have her back here in my arms
Em F C
Why couldn't I love her and try to understand her
Dm
Instead I said things that I regret
C F C
Why couldn't I just hold her and say it didn't matter
G7 C
Why couldn't I forgive and forget
