Em     Bm
Do the bad thing
Am            G       F#
Take off your wedding ring
Em                Bm            Am
But it won't make it that much easier
              G  F#
It might make it worse

Dm
Oh, the night's like a whirlwind
                      Am
Somebody's girlfriend is talking to me
Am
But it's alright
                       Dm
She's saying that he's not gonna slap me
Dm
Or try to attack me
Am
He's not the jealous type
Dm                               Am
And I only need to get half an excuse and I'm away
Dm                                      Am
But when there's no excuses that's much easier to say

          Dm
I've been before
                     Am                          Dm
And all these capers make us too good for her to ignore
                  Am
She's talking but I'm not entirely sure

Em     Bm
Do the bad thing
Am            G       F#
Take off your wedding ring
Em                Bm            Am
But it won't make it that much easier
              G  F#
It might make it worse

Dm
A sudden disheartener
                   Am
Somebody's partner is talking to me
                          Dm
But I don't that is what she isn't
                                   Am
She murmurs things to confirm that the tragedy is true
      Dm                               Am
And I knew how could she not she could have anyone she wants
        Dm                          Am
And I'm struggling to think of an immediate response, like

        Dm
I don't mind
                     Am                                 Dm
Be a big mistake for you to wait and have me waste your time
                 Am
Really love it's fine
                       Dm
Said, really love it's fine!

[Solo] Am  Dm  Am
       Dm  Am  G  F#

             Em
And then the first time it occurred
               Bm
That there was something to destroy
      Am                         G                   F#
And I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
           Em
Oh but she carried on suggesting
  Bm
A struggle to refuse
    Am
She said it's the red wine this time
    G          F# Em
But that is no excuse
