Intro: Dm7 C Dm7 C

Verse 1:
       Dm7
It's a fine mess (It's a fine mess)
             C
I got myself into (What have you got yourself into?)
    Dm7
I'm in a spin (He's in a spin)
                 C
With nowhere to spin to (Where's he gonna spin to?)

Pre-chorus:
      Dm7                                C
But I know I should think before I open my mouth
(Yeah, you should think before you talk)
      Dm7                                      C
And I know that some things shouldn't be said out loud
(So why'd you go and say it?)

Chorus:
Dm7                                         C
I guess this argument's not the place for a joke about divorce
Dm7
My intentions were just a playful thing
   C
To make you laugh of course
     Dm7
I'm neither use nor ornament
I must wait
      C
My affections you ignore
Dm7                                          C
I guess this argument's not the place for a joke about divorce

Verse 2:
   Dm7
My phone calls (Her phone's still ringing now)
C
You curse (Tom, what the ****?)
                      Dm7
I said I'll write you some verse (Write you some verse)
                     C
You said boy, you've some nerve! (You've got some nerve)

Pre-chorus:
    Dm7                                    C
But I won't include verbiage I'm not sure about
(Who'd you think you are?)
   Dm7                                   C
Or use a refrain just to stretch the strain out
(So why'd you go and say it?)

Chorus:
Dm7                                          C

    C
To make you laugh of course
     Dm7

I must wait
      C
My affections you ignore
Dm7                                          C

Bridge:
Dm7
   For a grown man
I should know better
C                    Em7
  Now I'm staring out
                      Dm7
The front room window.
                       C
Haven't spoke for hours.
                 Am
Yeah, I regret it
And while I find the words suppose I'll just say

Chorus:
Dm7                                          C

   C
To make you laugh of course
     Dm7
I'm neither use nor ornament
I must wait
     C
