[Verse 1]
Am               Em           G           Dm
  What'cha gonna do when your wife finds another
          F            C       F           G
Takes the kids and the car and half of the house?
Am               Em       G            Dm
  What'cha gonna do, move in with your mother
    F               C          F          G
And spend your time looking to find a new spouse?

[Chorus 1]
Am            E
  Thinking it over
   C               F
It ain't worth the worry
         C       G          F      C
Starting over to make a new life
Am            E
  Thinking it over
  C              F
I decided not to bother
  C          G           F      C
I decided to take my own life


[Bridge 1]
    D            G          D     G
I'm on the ledge outside my win---dow
    D             G       C       C/G
The ground is ten stories below
D         G         D          G
As I look down, the crowd look up
D         G            C       Caug
Wondering whether I'll jump or not

[Verse 2]
Am               Em       G               Dm
  What'cha gonna do, disappoint all those people
F                C            F              G
      Or make a splash in the headlines next day?
Am               Em            G             Dm
  What'cha gonna do, waste the time of those policemen
F                C        F              G
     Or let your audience have their own way?

[Chorus 2]
Am            E
  Thinking it over
  C              F
I decided not to bother
    C        G           F      C
I decided to take my own life
Am            E
  Thinking it over
   C               F
It ain't worth the worry
  C          G           F      C
I decided to take my own life

I decided not to bother
         C             G          F          C
It's too high price to pay for an unfaithful wife
