But I don't know where to go, and I came here all alone…

My husband's doin' me wrong

Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me...
F#m/A
Suddenly he's up and gone
A7
I don't have the means to go on
F#m D7
So I offered her a loan, I offered to walk her home, she said
You're too kind, sir
F#m
I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away
This one's mine, sir
F#m
Then I said, "well, I should head back home,"
D7
She turned red, she led me to her bed
F+
Stay?
Hey…

Say no to this

I hid the letter and I raced to her place

Screamed "How could you?!" in her face
