C                      Em         F                      G7 
When a man cheats on a woman it's understood he's just a man 

           F                   G7            C 
But when a woman cheats on her man no one forgives 

                         C7         F                Fm 
I drove her out into the night with teardrops in her eyes 

         C        G7                 C 
And only now I realize the fool I've been 


                Em        F               C 
Why couldn't I  love her  and try to understand her 

                             Dm 
Instead I said things that I regret 

             C                F                 C 
Why couldn't I just hold her  and say it didn't matter 

                G7          C 
Why couldn't I  forgive and forget 


                                   Em       F                      G7 
It's not her fault she slipped one time she never was the cheating kind 

           F              G7                  C 
But when a woman's unsatisfied she's bound to roam 

                         C7          F                Fm 
But I got mad I just saw red I never heard a word she said 

             C                G7              C 
And what I'd give to have her back here in my arms  
  

                Em        F               C 
Why couldn't I  love her  and try to understand her 

                             Dm 
Instead I said things that I regret 

             C                F                 C 
Why couldn't I just hold her  and say it didn't matter 

                G7          C 
Why couldn't I  forgive and forget
