C         D     
His woman truly was a devil

             D
He wants his life back
                    A           G           C            D
He wants to go back home


A           G
He tried so hard to please her
C           D
He sold his soul to keep her happy
A              G
But nothin' he did impressed her
C          D
She always left him feelin' shitty

He wants to go back home

A              G
Down deep, way down inside him
C           D
The will to leave was growing stronger
A              G
And he bit his tongue for so long
C           D
He couldn't hold back any longer

         A          G
You're a two, faced ruthless instigator
        C          D
You're a low down, triflin' masquerader
         A           G
You're a cold bitch, controlling conversator
       C              D
