Intro: A 

A               D                          A 
Last night as I got home about a half past ten 
                      D 
There was the woman I thought I knew 
                       A 
In the arms of another man 
                  D 
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool 
                              A 
Let me tell you what happened then 
                          D 
I packed some clothes and I walked out 
                         A 
And I ain't going back a gain 

          A             Asus A  G 
So take a letter Maria, ad dress it to my wife 
D                                     A                Asus A 
Say I won't be coming home, I'm gonna start a new life 
                        Asus A  G 
So take a letter Maria, ad dress it to my wife 
       D                        A                Asus A 
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life 

            A               D                               A 
You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me 
                         D                                  A 
And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me 
            D                                     A 
Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life 
             D                          A 
All work and no play has just cost me a wife 

          A             Asus A  G 
So take a letter Maria, ad dress it to my wife 
D                                     A                Asus A 
Say I won't be coming home, I'm gonna start a new life 
                        Asus A  G 
So take a letter Maria, ad dress it to my wife 
       D                        A                Asus A 
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life 

       A           D                          A 
When a man loves a woman it's hard to underst and 
                         D                               A 
That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man 
                       D                    A 
I never really noticed how sweet you are to me 
                       D 
It just so happens I'm free tonight 
                                   A 
Would you like to have dinner with me 

          A             Asus A  G
