(D) I never claimed to know everything
(G) I ain't got no Ph-(D)-D
But (G) boys listen up when (D) it comes to love
You can (E7) learn a thing or two from (A7) me
(D) I'm no expert on makin' love work
I (G) really can't tell you a (D) lot
Well (G) I don't know how to keep a woman ar(D)ound
But I (E7) sure know how to (A7) run one (D) off
So (G) listen to my words of no (D) wisdom
There's no (G) secret to my lack of succ(D)ess
(G) Once she draws the (D) line just cross it one (E7) time
(G) That's the way you (A7) make an (D) ex
I (D) never could spell misery to well
But (G) I know it ends with a (D) Y
(G) Why did I do what I (D) did when I knew
She'd (E7) get her half and half of what's (A7) mine
(D)Takes more than luck to really mess up
(G) It don't just hapen this (D) way
It (G) took sacrifice and (D) all my exwives
To (E7) get me where I (A7) am to(D)day
So (G) listen to my words of no (D) wisdom
There's no (G) secret to my lack of succ(D)ess
(G) Once she draws the (D) line just cross it one (E7) time
(G) That's the way you (A7) make an (D) ex
(G) Once she draws the (D) line just cross it one (E7) time
(G) That's the way you (A7) make an (D) ex
(G) That's the way you (A7) make an (D) ex
(G) That's the way you (A7) make an (D) ex
