[Intro 1]
[D][Gm][D]
My hus[Gm]band left me [D]last night

[Verse 1]
[Gm][D]
Left me a poor and lonely [Gm]wife[D]
I cooked the meals and he
got [Gm]the life[D]
And now I'm just out for
the rest of my time
For [E]me
[D]For he
For [A]my[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]
I speak because I can
To [G]anyone I trust [A]enough [D]to listen.
[A]You speak because you can
To anyone who'll hear
what you [D]say.[F#]
I swear it [G]was not my choice
[D]I u[F#]sed to be so [G]kind.
[D]

[Verse 3]
Never road my bike [Gm]down
to [D]the sea[Gm][D]

Never got up and shared any[Gm]thing

I used to [G]be so [D]kind.[F#]
I used to [G]be so kind.
[D]

[Verse 6]
In the break[A]ing [D]of the morning you'll be dan
[G]cing [A]on the sof[G]t law[D]n
[A]You'll be sinking at the anchor that
stopped [G]you from taking [D]my gold
[A]You'll be running up the highway singing
[G]"I'm the king the king of [D]you all!"
When you look [A]back to where you started
[G]I'll be there waving [D]you on.

[Verse 7]
[D]I never road my bike d[Gm]own
to the [D]sea[Gm][D]
Never quite figured out what I believe
Never got up and shared anything
For me
[E]For he
[D]For my
