D                   G            D
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
                    G       A7
That she's not here with me tonight
      D             G             D      G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
              D         A7         D
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why

[Verse 1]

G                 G7          G
We started having problems in August last year
                          G7              G
So things have been kinda rough for quite awhile
                     G7          G
And you know how you think it'll work itself out
     A7
Well mister that thought's wrong by a long long mile

[Chorus]

D                   G            D
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
                    G       A7
That she's not here with me tonight
      D             G             D      G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
              D         A7         D
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why

[Verse 2]

G                   G7           G
I might should have seen we were drifting apart
                    G7               G
But I was in what I guess you'd call denial
                            G7               G
And I had always heard them say you were the last one to know
     A7
Well buddy I was last by a long long mile

[Chorus]

D                   G            D
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
                    G          A7
That she's not here with me tonight
      D             G             D      G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
              D         A7         D
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why

[Verse 3]
        G
Okay we both have a tendency to overreact
                  G7                G
So I can't really tell you who's at fault
                             G7
But there were certain third parties well her sister for one
            A7
That helped bring our reconciling to a drop dead halt

[Chorus]

D                    G            D
Aren't you sorry you asked me the reason
               G       A7
She's not here with me tonight
      D             G             D      G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
             D         A7         D
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
D                    A7         D
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
         D         A7         D
I'm sure sorry you ever asked why

[Ending]

      G                G7               G
Did I tell you how she tried to have me locked out of the house
                 G7         G
Had to go hire a lawyer and all
        G                   G7
But I know that was mostly her family's idea
  A7
I could hear them tell her what to say every time I called

[Fade out]

D                   G            D
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
                    G       A7
That she's not here with me tonight
      D             G             D      G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
             D         A7         D
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
           D         A7         D
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
