Last night [C] as I got home about [G] half past ten, there was a woman I [C] thought I knew in the
arms of another [G] man.
Kept my [C] cool, I ain't no fool, didn't I tell you what happened [G] then.
Packed some [C] clothes and I walked out and I ain't going back [G] again.
The decalitter Maria, oh yeah, the decalitter Maria, oh yeah, the decalitter Maria, oh yeah,
[F] I listened to my wife.
[C] Said, I won't be coming home baby, [G] got to start a new life.
So the decalitter Maria, oh yeah, the [F] decalitter Maria, listen to my wife.
Said [C] I got to tell my lawyer the decalitter Maria, [G] got to start a new life.
Happened little things, but [C] most of all a good secretary to [G] me.
And it's times like this [C] I feel you've always been close to me.
Was I wrong to work nights, try to build [G] a little life?
Seems that [C] all work and no play has just cost [G] me a wife.
So take a memory out, [F] and dress it to my wife.
Say [C] I'm gonna make a little home, I got a start on your life.
So take a memory out, [F] and dress it to my wife.
[C] Send a copy to my lawyer, [G] got a start on your life.
When a man [C] loves a woman that way it's [G] hard to understand.
She would find more [C] pleasure in the arms of another man.
I've never really [C] noticed how sweet you [G] are to me.
Just so happens [C] I'm free tonight, would you like to [G] have dinner with me?
So take a memory out, and [F] dress it to my wife.
