Bb                                           Eb     Bb
She used to call me baby, I thought she was such a lady
    Eb                    Bb                  F  
But my how things have changed since time’s moved on
     Bb                                     Eb      Bb 
I’d give her my last dollar, now all she’ll do is holler
        Eb          Bb       F     Bb    (key change) F#     
Oh, my life has be-come a country song
B                                               E      B 
I’ve learned she can resist me by the way she always disses me
      E               B                        F#   
And comes to bed at night with that cold cream on 
       B                                             E         B  
Some-times I might feel frisky, but these days it’s just too risky
      E                B                            F#               B
It’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
     F#                      B
All day long, it goes on and on
      C#                                                    F
If a tree fell in the forest, she didn’t hear it, would I still be wrong
    B                                       E        B
I guess I should admit it, she ain’t ever gonna quit it
      E                B                            F#               B    
It’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
          C                                     
(SPOKEN) Man, I remember when her eyes used to be so blue and shiny, 
                     F                       C 
God you oughta see  what’s happened to her hiny (her what?) (her hiney)
            F                     C                    G         
Man, that thing in big enough to land a small plane on 

(Rodney - a small plane?) (Vince - I’m telling’ ya)
C                                                         F             C  
I used to roll her in the clover (mmm mm) but thank God those days are over (think liberty)
       F                C                           G                C
It’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
          G                    C
All day long, she goes on and on
       D                                    G
If someday they drop the big one, I’d say "Sweet Jesus, she’s gonna finally leave me alone"
           C                               F            C
It’s all right if we say it cause the radi-o won’t play it
      F                C                            G               C
It’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
      F                C                            G               C    F C G C
It’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long
