The Day She Got Divorced

At the kitchen table sucking on a 
       F
cigarette
                    C7
Read the paper in a cloud of smoke

While the dirty dinner dishes soaked
Woke up the kids and coaxed 'em out 
    F
of bed
         G                         
Then she burnt the toast just like 
           F
the day before
     N.C.             C7
The day she got divorced

[Verse 2]
N.C.                   C7
Left the kids with the girl next 
door

Parked her car at the county court
Around and around about the child 
                     F
support he'll never pay
                                C7
The judge said, "We're going to have
 to start

Without the party of the second 
part"
'Cause the party of the second part 
        F
was M.I.A.
       G                           
He was gettin' drunk just like the 
       F
day before
     N.C.             C7

          Em7
It didn't feel any different than it
 ever has
       F
She wasn't that sorry, wasn't that 
sad
         Em7                       
Couldn't love him any less or hate 
         F
him any more
                      C7
The day she got divorced

[Verse 3]
N.C.                    C7
Wasn't workin', had the whole day 
off

Bought a bottle, then she called her
 boss
Waited for him at the motel lot 
               F
until he got there
                           C7
First he told her that her hair 
looked nice

Promised he was gonna leave his wife
Yeah, two more lies but she didn't 
  F
care
              G                    
'Cause it was just like every other
        F
 day before
                      C7

[Interlude]
C7  F

[Verse 4]
     N.C.                   C7
Kids are yakking with their hungry 
mouths

Dog scratching, laying on the couch
Think she really ought to clean this
                     F
 house but what the hell
            G                      
'Cause it's just as dirty as the 
     F
day before
