D                   G            D  
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
                    G          A
That she's not here with me tonight
      D             G            D         G
And I know you were prob'ly just actin' polite
              D         A          D
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why

   G              C           G
We started having problems in August last year
                   C               G
So things had been rough for quite awhile
                     C           G
And you know how you think it'll work itself out
     A
Yeah well mister that thought's wrong by a long long mile

----- chorus -----

I mighta shoulda seen we were driftin' apart
But I was in what I guess you'd call denial
And I'd always heard 'em say you're the last one to know
Hey well buddy I was last by a long long while

E                   A            E
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
                    A          B7
That she's not here with me tonight
      E             A            E         A 
And I know you were prob'ly just actin' polite
              E         B7         E
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why

        A           D           A 
Okay we both have a tendency to over react
                  D                 A 
So I can't really tell you who's at fault
                         D                A
There were certain third parties well her sister for one
           B7
Who helped bring our reconciling to a drop dead halt

Aren't you sorry... 
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
I'm sure sorry you ever asked why

Did I tell you how she tried to have me locked out of the house
Had to go hire a lawyer and all
But I know that was mostly her family's idea
I could hear 'em tell her what to say every time I'd call

You'll be sorry...
