VERSE:

Six long years I stuck around

Trying to make this work
     E7
Then one late night out with the guys
                  Am
I caught him with her

      Am
So I took his Packers jersey

I threw it in the yard
   E7
I scratched up all his vinyl
                   Am
Cut up his credit cards

PD-C HORUS:
Dm
He got home to quite the scene
    Am
But he wasn't angry
   Dm
I wish I coulda seen my face
        E7
When he got down on one knee


CHORUS:
N.C.                          Am
'Cause he tried to give me a ring
                  F
Said I was everything
  G
Apologized a thousand times
     E7
And said that I'm his queen

     Am
But mama always told me
       F
There ain't no one time cheaters
              E7
He gave me a ring

N.C.            Am
I gave him the finger

VERSE:
           Am
Yeah, I'm daddy's little Angel

But he pushed me to the edge
   E7
I cursed him like the devil
                  Am
And I have no regrets

   Am

'Cause I know if he's gonna lie to me

   Dm
I wish I coulda seen my face
        E7
When he got down on one knee
