[Verse 1]
C                                G
The way you talk makes me ignore every single word
                                                  C
So I think of something else and fake it with the few I think I've heard
                                               G
She used to pray each night for God to come and wash away my sins
                                               C
But I'd just wake up and do them all over again

[Chorus]
          F                        C
I knew it wouldn't last, you never bothered to ask
                                             G
I'm just another bum who hopped on the wrong train
                    F                             C
You're lucky you're just my wife because I've been like this my whole life
           G                C
I was born drunk, tired and mean

[Verse 2]
   C
I was brought up by desperate fools
          G
Trying to drink away a small town curse

Until the day I met you baby
            C
Things just started getting worse


Now I'm too old to even remember
G
Just what might have been
                                                C
But I sure as hell wouldn't do any of this again

[Chorus]
          F                        C
I knew it wouldn't last, you never bothered to ask
                                             G
I'm just another bum who hopped on the wrong train
                    F                               C
You're lucky you're just my wife because I've been like this my whole life
           G                C
I was born drunk, tired and mean

I knew it wouldn't last, you never bothered to ask

I'm just another bum who hopped on the wrong train
                    F                                C
You're lucky you're just my wife because I've been like this my whole life
           G                C
I was born drunk, tired and mean
