       G
We've talked it to death
                    Am
Crying on the telephone
                          C
Nights when he drinks at home
     D/F#                       G     Am D
She has to whisper through the tears

F# G
?Darling,? she says,
                             Am
?You never do these things to me?
                          C
But I could never make her see
      D/F#                 Em  E
He's wasted such precious years

      Am                       D/F#        G
?You married the wrong guy? is all I ever say
               E
He's a no-good so-and-so
Am                /G#
 But she'll never let him go
            /G                D                   G         
Though she knows it'll never work, she loves the jerk
C/G             G   Am D/A
 She loves the jerk

G
He was the guy
                   Am
Always out on the lake
                        C
I guess he had what it takes
    D/F#                     G    Am D/A
To turn the heads of pretty girls

      G
She thought he would change
                             Am
The worst of us will settle down
                             C/G
But he couldn't stay out of town
    D/F#                    Em  E
Not even for this precious pearl

         Am                          D/F#               
Now she lives with the lies and the bumps and the bruises
G               E
 He's a no-good so-and-so
Am                /G#
 But she'll never let him go
            /G                D                   G
Though she knows it'll never work, she loves the jerk
C/G             G    G7
 She loves the jerk

C/G             D/F#          [ch]B7/F#[/ch]           Em
I hang up the phone and I pretend she's in my arms
C/G               [ch]B7/F#[/ch]             Em                D/F#             E
 What I wouldn't give for just one tenth of what she gives Mr. Charming

A               F#
 He's a no-good so-and-so
Bm                /Bb
 But she'll never let him go
             Bm(/F#)          E                   A
Though she knows it'll never work, she loves the jerk
D               A
 She loves the jerk
D               A
 She loves the jerk
D               A
 She loves the jerk
D               A
 She loves the jerk
