Intro


E                 B
You ain't got the right
           A           E
To tell me I'm not lonely
E              A
You don't understand
A              B
What I've been through
E             B
She had every right
B         A                   E
To do the wrong that she done to me
E   A                      E     B
And that don't make it easier to lose
B   A                         E  A E A E
And that don't make it easier to lose


First Verse


E                   A
I woke up Wednesday morning
A                E
With the feeling she was gone
E                       A
And I turned to face an empty place
A     B
And I realized
B      A
That I didn't smell no coffee
A   E                          C#m
And all her pretty clothes was gone
C#m         D
I cried the first of the many tears
D             B
You'll see me crying from now on


Chorus


    E                 B
And you ain't got the right
B          A            E
To tell me I'm not lonely
E                     A
'Cause you don't understand
A              B
What I've been through
E       A     B
She had every right
B         A          E
To do the wrong that she done to me
E   A                      B
But that don't make it easier to lose
B   A                      B     E B E A E
And that don't make it easier to lose


Second Verse


E                  A
I know her list of lovers
A           D       E
Was just as long as mine
E                          A
But the sometime plan of a natural man
A     B
Is to settle down
B       A
But the one time ways of that woman
A        E            C#m
Had done busted up my mind
A           D
Well, she's out the door
D                       B
She got one more on her list
B
Than I got on mine


Chorus


E                     B
And you ain't got the right
           A           E
To tell me I'm not lonely
E                     A
'Cause you don't understand
A              B
What I've been through
E             B
She had every right
B         A                   E
To do the wrong that she done to me
E   A                      E     B
And that don't make it easier to lose
B   A                         B  E C#m E
And that don't make it easier to lose


Third Verse


E               A
It's gonna be a long time
A       D             E
'Fore I come this way again
E
I been dragged through school
E     E                        B
And I learned the rules and it seemed to me
B      A
That a woman love to do you
A       E                   C#m
But she won't always do you nice, no, no
D
Yes, she had her turn, I guess I learned
D            B
You know she ain't gonna do me twice


Chorus


E                           B
And you still ain't got the right
B          A           E
To tell me I'm not lonely
E                     A
'Cause you don't understand
A              B
What I've been through
E             B
She had every right
B         A                   E
To do the wrong that she done to me
E   A                         B
And that don't make it easier to lose
B   A                      E
And that don't make it easier to lose
