Intro: F5    C5    G5   Bb5   C5    G5 
 
G5 
Little did she know 
E5 
The ring wouldn?t go 
     C5              G5 
With him out to the bar 
G5         E5 
Newlyweds, barely out of bed 
             C5                         G5 
And now he?s leaving in another girl?s car 
D5 
She should?ve known 
         C5 
When she took him home 
    G5 
And stole him from another 
     D5                        C5 
He?d do the same thing with a wedding ring 
    G5              E5 
And leave it a lover 
    C5                        D5 
She thought she could change all of the things 
     G5               E5 
That kept him out at night 
         C5                 D5 
But even gold can?t hold a man 
             C5              D5   
Who sold his home for motel lights 
          F5            C5                  G5  
Now these motel lights flicker outside my door 
       F5                    C5               G5  
Well I guess I deserve everything I get and more 
         F5          C5          G5 
And that vacancy reminds me of what I?ve got in store 
         F5                    C5                  D5 
As these motel lights flicker outside my door  
He sells a lie she still wants to buy 
But that can?t last for long 
Who wants to wait at home all day 
For a man who never wants to come home 
She can?t keep the faith at home all day 
And her mind begins to stray 
She starts to think about having a drink 
At a little place down the way 
She can?t believe she?s about to leave the home 
She tried to build 
But she gets in a car with a man from the bar 
Up to her neck in guilt
