DGD
I came staggerin' in, in the middle of the night
G
I got my alibi sewed up nice and tight
D
Cracked the bedroom door, I tried to keep it from squeakin'
G
'Cause I know there's a wildcat in there sleepin'
DG
But the light was on and the bed was made
DG
There's a dear john written on the pillow case
[Chorus]
D
She said, I've gone to the Bahamas, I've had it with the drama
G
Time to get out of town, I'm just slowin' you down
DA
She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
D
Yeah, and he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny
GE
And baby, he's a looker too
DA
She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
[Solo]
DGDGD
Oh yeah, I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mess
G
I had the telephone ringin' and her cat on my chest
D
I'm wipin' the sleep out of my bloodshot eyes
G
Oh, it's gotta be her callin' to apologize
DG
She must be feelin' bad 'cause she done me wrong
DG
Then I, I pushed the button on a Code-A-Phone
[Chorus]
D
She said, I've gone to the Bahamas, I've had it with the drama
G
Time to get out of town, I'm just slowin' you down
DA
She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
D
Yeah, and he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny
GE
And baby, he's a looker too
DADD
She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
[Solo]
EEAAEEGA
[Bridge]
D
Oh, and I got the stereo and she got the music
GG#dim
Yeah, and I got this washer but I don't know how to use it
[Chorus]
D
She said, I've gone to the Bahamas, I've had it with the drama
G
Time to get out of town, I'm just slowin' you down
DA
She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to
D
Yeah, and he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny
GE
And baby, he's a looker too
DA
She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do
[Outro]
