[C]
[G] [C]
I got back in town a day before I'd planned to.
[G] I smiled and said I'll sure [C] surprise my wife.
[F] I don't think I'll fall, [C]
I'll just head on home.
Cause I didn't know [G] the cold hard [C] facts of life.
I passed a little wine store on the corner.
[G] I pictured pink champagne by [C] the handle line.
[F] I stopped the car right then, [C] got out and hurried in.
My mind not [G] on the cold [C] hard facts of life.
A [F] stranger stood there laughing [C] by the counter.
[G] He said I'll take two bottles [C] of your best.
[F] Her husband's out of town [C] and there's a party.
He winked as if to say [G] you know the rest.
[C] I left the store two steps behind the stranger.
[G] From there to my house his [C] car stayed inside.
[F] But it wasn't till he turned [C] into my drive that I learned.
I was witnessing [G] the cold [C] hard facts of life.
[F] I drove around the block [C] till I was dizzy.
[G] Each time the noise came louder [C] from within.
[F] And then I saw our bottle [C] there beside me.
And I drank a pill of curry [G] and walked in.
[C] Lord you should have seen their frantic faces.
[G] They screamed and cried please put [C] away that knife.
[F] I guess I'll go to hell [C] or I'll rot here in this cell.
But who taught who [G] the cold hard [C] facts of life.
Who taught [G] who the cold hard [C] facts of life.
