I  (D major) could (A major)  (D major) n't help but overhear
A 
what you were  (A major) saying to your friend
G 
About someone  (G major) who was
A 
D 
 (A major) someone else's  (D major) wife
G 
And you seem  (G major) so proud to
A 
D 
 (A major) say you want  (D major) her over
E 
A 
To the  (E major) shadows of the darker side of  (A major) life
D 
You say the  (D major) one who she belongs to
A 
only  (A major) got what he deserved
G 
A 
D 
For the  (G major) many nights he  (A major) left her all alone  (D major)

Well, I've  (G major) heard that same old  (A major) story

But  (D major) this time it's  (A major) hidden close to  (D major) home

A 
You know I've  (G major) often said the  (A major) same
D 
things that you're  (D major) saying

But  (A major) I  found I was the only

the  (A major) same game I was  (D major) playing
E 
Just as  (E major) soon as someone else
A 
taught her the  (A major) rules

So take  (D major) a good look at a man
A 
who once was  (A major) standing in your shoes
G 
And you'll  (G major) see the lonely fu
A 
D 
ture  (A major) that you want  (D major) 
G

Because someday,  (G major) just like  (A major) me

Like  (D major) you did when  (A major) that's hidden
D 
close to  (D major) home you
