Intro 1
(C major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 1
I got (C major) back in town a
day before I'd planned to
I smiled (G major) and said, I'll sure surprise my (C major) wife
(F major) I don't think I'll phone,
I'll (C major) just head on home
For I didn't know the (G major) cold hard facts of life (C major)

Verse 2
I (C major) passed a little wine store on the corner
I pictured (G major) pink champagne by candle (C major) light
I stopped (F major) the car right then
got (C major) out and hurried in
My mind not on the cold (G major) hard facts (C major) of life
Verse 3
A stranger (F major) stood there
laughing by the (C major) counter
He said, (G major) "I'll take two
bottles of your (C major) best"
Her (F major) husband's out of town
and there's a (C major) party
He winked as if to say you know the (G major) rest
Verse 4
I (C major) left the store two steps
behind the stranger
From (G major) there to my house,
his car stayed (C major) in sight
But it (F major) wasn't till he turned
into (C major) my drive that I learned
I was witnessing the (G major) cold hard facts (C major) of life
Verse 5
I (F major) drove around the block till I was (C major) dizzy
Each (G major) time the noise came
louder from within (C major)
And (F major) then I saw our bottle
there be (C major) side me
And I drank a fifth of courage
and walked (G major) in
Verse 6
Lord, (C major) you should've seen
their frantic faces
They screamed (G major) and cried,
please put away that (C major) knife
I (F major) guess I'll go to hell or
I'll (C major) rot here in this cell
But who taught who the
cold (G major) hard facts (C major) of life
Who taught who the cold hard facts of (C major) life
