Refrão

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

            Dm
Oh, the night’s like a whirlwind
                                           Am
Somebody’s girlfriend is talking to me but it’s alright
                                     Dm
She’s saying that he’s not gonna slap me 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 and all these capers
Am                                       Dm
make her too forward to ignore
                                    Am
She’s talking but I’m not entirely sure

Dm Am Dm Am
Dm Am F# G

Oh, I’m stood at the bar and somebody’s partner’s talking to me but I don’t know what that is
What she isn’t 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,

                      Dm                                      Am
Like “I don’t mind, be a big mistake for you
                                             Dm
to wait and help me waste your time
                          Am                                    Dm
Really love it’s fine”, said “really love it’s fine”

Dm Am Dm Am
Dm Am G F#

               Em                                                       Bm
And the first time it occurred that there was something to destroy
   Am                                       G                              F#
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy
                     Em                                   Bm
Oh, but she carried on suggesting, I struggled to refuse
       Am                                                       G              F# Em
She said “it’s the red wine this time but that is no excuse”
