[Verse 1]
C                                    F                C
Our little boy is four years old and  quite a little man
                                    D                G7
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
     C                  C7  F   G7  C
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R   P-R-I-S-E
         F                  C
But the words we're hiding from him now
                      G     C
Tear the heart right out of me


[Chorus]
C               C7  F          G7     C
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E;    becomes final today
                    D                 G7
Me and little J-O-E   will be goin' away
  C                                     F     G7     C
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
      F                  C                 G7  C
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E


[Verse 1] (Change to D)
D
Watch him smile, he thinks it's Christmas
G               D
Or his 5th Birthday
                          E               A7
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
   D                         D7
I spell out all the hurtin' words
     G      A7           D
And turn my head when I speak
       G               D
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
                 A        D
That's drippin' down my cheek


[Chorus]
D               D7  G        A7      D
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E    becomes final today
                    E                 A7
Me and little J-O-E   will be goin' away
  D                                     G      A7    D
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
      G                  D             A7      D
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
