CC Piano Chord 

1.I hated like the devil
GG Piano Chord 

To tell her we were through
CC Piano Chord 

I was sure it would break her heart
GG Piano Chord 

Tear her world in two

GG Piano Chord 

She is such a fragile thing
CC Piano Chord 

Lord, I hate to make her cry
GG Piano Chord 
              CC Piano Chord 

So I broke it to her gently
DD Piano Chord 
           CC Piano Chord 
        GG Piano Chord 

When I told her goodbye

CC Piano Chord 
                DD Piano Chord 

C.She cussed me like a sailor
CC Piano Chord 

Kicked a hole through the kitchen wall
GG Piano Chord 

She threw a fit and threw the phone
GG Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 

Half-way down the hall

GG Piano Chord 

She said"I'll be down at the bar"
CC Piano Chord 
                     DD Piano Chord 

Then I heard the front door slam
GG Piano Chord 

I guess all in all
CC Piano Chord 
              GG Piano Chord 
       CCGGCCGG
She took it like a man

2.I was thinking she'd reach out to me
And beg me not to go
Or run straight to her momma's
'Cause I'd hurt her so

Thought she'd be devastated
I had a tender moment plan
I didn't think that she could take it
But she took it like a man

Repeat Chorus
