Verse 1
D 
She was a screamer and a moaner
G 
I was a dreamer and a loner
D 
I don't know how we got together,
A

D 
She wore a fancy diamond choker,
G 
the queen of hearts, I was the choker
D

in her stacked deck,
A

I did all I had and lost it
And she said,
G 
A 
Bm 
welcome to the real world, kid
