The Wrens are an American indie rock band from New Jersey. The group consists of Charles Bissell (guitar/vocals), brothers Greg Whelan (guitar) and Kevin Whelan (bass/vocals), and Jerry MacDonald (drums). They have released three albums so far, although a combination of problems with their former record label and having to fit in writing and recording with the daily pressures of home life and full-time jobs means that only one album has been released since 1996.

The Wrens Ex-Girl Collection From: The Meadowlands (2003) Lyrics from http://www.wrens.com/albums-mealyr.html#exgirl
[Note: like most Wrens' songs, there's too much going on to accurately reflect it in one guitar part, but you should be able to play along with this. Sorry about the lyrics in the last verse; I'm too lazy to figure them out. Send any corrections to [email protected]]
GBmEm Fourth floor room
AmBmC Each girl I've brought back home to bloom
Bm All fold on close inspection
GBmEmAmBmC Each one leaves a banner hanging from the eaves
Bm Marking the eve of election
D Ex-girl collection
AmBmCG Why/ into why not
E Into what else you got?
AmBmCBm It's just how men mark time
GBmEmAmBmCBm
GBmEmAmBmCBm
GBmEm Ann slams in
AmBmC Another lightening round begins
Bm This could get interesting
GBmEm Where's Ann been?
AmBmC She pours herself a don't-ask gin
BmD No ice and light on the bitters
I'm done with quitters
AmBmCG 'Why / Charles, I found out
E Wipe that smile off your mouth
AmBmC I think it's tell-me time...'
GBmEm Britt hit hard
AmBmC She found my box of Beth's best cards
Bm Hand cut and signed with 'x's
GBmEm Called at work
AmBmC 'Happy anniversary, jerk'
BmD And I just laughed at the timing with you on hold line 2 still crying
AmBmCG 'Why / play sex on the cuff?
E Does Beth like it rough?
AmBmC And learn your dirty lines?
G And keep her hair cropped
E (The other shoe dropped)
AmBmCG 'Is this how men mark time / in couples?', she cursed
E (This sounds too rehearsed)
AmCG As Ann, hand on hip, accusing me to the rafters
AmCG The words turn and spit and scorch right through to the plaster
D I'm called 10 kinds of a bastard
Curses came faster
GBmEm Ann stands down
AmBmCBm I think she thinks [something]
GBmEm Ann [something]
AmBmCBmD [something]
AmBmCG Why / into why not?
E Into charles gone to pot
In hotter water
AmBmCG Line/ up to lift up a toast
E To the ones I hurt most
AmBmC And how the well's gone lime
G With charles on the plow
E I'm roger over and how
AmBmC Slower now men mark time
AmBmC Fine
AmBmC Why, / what else you got?
[G Bm Em Am Bm C Bm x several times--you can pick out the lead in the verse chords and sound sort of right]
