Intro: Dm C A# A Dm C A# A 

Verse One: 

Dm             C                            A# 
Right now I’m here slow dancing with a real bad chick, 
          A 
And she's getting real frisky 
Dm              C                                     A# 
Right now, I’m at the bar buying her some fruity little drink cause she 
A 
Can’t shoot whiskey 
Dm              C                             A#                         A 
Right now, I’m standing up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how  
                 G            A 
To shoot a combo And I don't know 


       A#            Dm                 A#                      Dm 
That she dug her key into the side of my supped pretty little up four wheel drive, 
A#                Dm             A 
Carved her name into my leather seat 
         A#                     Dm                  A#                   Dm 
She took a Louisville slugger to both head lights, slashed a hole in all 4 tires 
    A#                           A                                     Dm C A# A 
And maybe next time I’ll think before I cheat. 


Dm                     C                                A#         A 
Right now, she's standing up singing some ghetto version of Mariah karaoke 
Dm               C                                 A#                  A 
Right now, she's tellin me that "she’s drunk" and I’m thinkin that I about to get lucky, 
Dm              C                  A#                     A             G 
Right now, I’m in here dabbing on 3 dollars’ worth of that bathroom Polo 
             A 
And he don't know 

 
       A#            Dm                 A#                      Dm 
That she dug her key into the side of my pretty little supped up four wheel drive, 
A#                Dm             A 
Carved her name into my leather seat 
         A#                     Dm                  A#                   Dm 
She took a Louisville slugger to both head lights, slashed a hole in all 4 tires 
    A#                      A           Dm C A# A 
And maybe next time I’ll think before I cheat. 

Change Up: 
    F            C                       A# 
I might save a little trouble for the next girl, 
                    G              A 
Cause the next time that I cheats 

                                               Dm C A# A 
Oh, you know she, might cheat on me! 


       A#            Dm                 A#                      Dm 
she dug her key into the side of my pretty little supped up four wheel drive, 
A#                Dm             A 
Carved her name into my leather seat 
         A#                     Dm                  A#                   Dm 
She took a Louisville slugger to both head lights, slashed a hole in all 4 tires 
    A#                      A           Dm C A# A 
And maybe next time I’ll think before I cheat 


   A#                 A                  Dm     C A# A 
Maybe next time I’ll think before I cheats. 
Dm     C A# A     Dm 
                               Ooh...before I cheats
