  			C                                                G7 
Don’t tell my wife who wrote this song cause she might leave me 

                                             C 
If she found out I’m pouring words into this pen 

                                             F 
Maybe time we’ll work things out without her knowing 

      G7                                         C 
Cause I’m not sure of her even though she’s back again 


                                                G7 
She’s proved to me a hundred times she’s really sorry 

                                            C 
But there’s still something between us deep within 

                                           F 
I know I love her could it be trust that’s missing 

      G7                                         C 
Cause I’m not sure of her even though she’s back again 


F                    G7                   C 
She’s back again and I’m so happy cause I worshiped her 

    G7                           C 
But somehow it’s not the same as before 

    F              G7              C 
And tonight a cold sweat broke out all over me 

     D7                                    G7 
When she was just ten minutes late getting home from the store 


C                                           G7 
Don’t tell my wife who wrote this song I’ll find the answer 

                                          C 
But I know the chance to save our home is thin 

                                                F 
There’s something gone and I’m afraid it’s gone forever 

    G7                                         C 
And I’m not sure of her even though she’s back again 


   G7                                         C 
No I’m not sure of her even though she’s back again
