The Cold Hard Facts Of Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I got [C]back in town a
[G]day before I'd [C]planned to
I [G]smiled and said I'll sure surprise my [C]wife
[F]I don't think I'll phone
[C]I'll just head on home
For I didn't know the [G]cold hard facts of [C]life
I passed a little [G]wine store on the [C]corner I
[G]pictured pink champagne by candle [C]light
I [F]stopped the car right then
got [C]out and hurried in
My mind not on the [G]cold
hard facts of [C]life
[F]A stranger stood there
laughing by the coun[C]ter
He [G]said I'll take two bottles of your best
[C]Her hus[F]band's out of
town and there's a [C]party
He winked as if to say you know the [G]rest
I [C]left the store two [G]steps
behind [C]the stranger
From [G]there to my house
his car stayed in [C]sight
But it [F]wasn't till he turned
into my [C]drive I learned
I was witnessing [G]the cold hard facts of [C]life
I [F]drove around the block till I was [C]dizzy each
[G]time the noise came louder from [C]within
And [F]then I saw our bottle
there be[C]side me
And I drank a fifth of courage
[G]and walked [C]in
Oh you should have [G]seen
their frantic [C]faces
They [G]screamed and cried
please put away that [C]knife
I [F]guess I'll go to hell [Dm]or
[C]rot here in the cell
But who told who [G]the cold hard facts of [C]life
who told who [G]the cold hard facts of [C]life[G]
