D            A
Came home loaded again,
            G                    D
Watched the sun come with all my good timin' friends
       D            A
We all know how the story ends
D       A   D 
DI-V-O-R-C-E
          D                     A
Pulled my truck right up in the yard
          G                              D
Said some things about her momma and she took it kinda hard
       D                   A
And my get outta jail free card
D               A         
Got used up way back in '03


Pre-Chorus:
    G                             D
She don't think that it's cute anymore
          A                      D
To see me begging on my knees outside her front door
        G                            D
I could try to win her back but what for
      E7                     A 
She's heard all my excuses before


Chorus 1: 
               G
This ain't the first time she's thrown me out
D
Sent me packin' to sleep on the couch
  A
I know too well what that's all about
               D
This ain't the first time
               G
This ain't the first time she's said we're through
        D
But I'm startin' to believe it might be true
      A
And I don't think that I'm sorry is a-gonna do
               G                       D
This ain't the first time but it's the worst time



     D            A
If she's right, Lord knows I'm wrong
            G                    D
Keeping her up each night singin' the same ole song
       D            A
Don't know why she's let me live this long
D       A   D 
There must of been some love there but I think that it's gone
          D                     A
You could say I took it too far
          G                              D
And when it comes to screwin up well I get the gold star
       D                   A
Cause this time when I got home from the bar
D               A         
I find all of my clothes thrown all over the lawn


Pre-Chorus:
    G                             D
She's changed the locks and unplugged the phone
          A                      D
She's had it up to here and she's making it known
        G                            D
She's thrown out everything that I own
      E7                     A 
I best be gettin used to bein alone


Chorus 2: 
               G
This ain't the first time that it's come down
D
Smack dab on top of this stupid clown
  A
Sendin shock waves all over town
               D
This ain't the first time
               G
This ain't the first time she's walked away
        D
Leavin me on my knees without a word to say
      A
But if I opened my mouth it would get worse anyway
               G                       D
This ain't the first time but it's the worst time
                   G                       D
No, This ain't the first time but it's just the worst time
