[Intro]
A                    F#m
She says her mind is made up.
A                          F#m
She's fought the feeling's long enough.
D              C           G           A
She can't find love or her self in her heart.
A                      F#m
Says: "We got together way too young."
    A                    F#m
An' then there's me here still in love,
D                      C       G         A
Watchin' the ties that bind us fallin' a part.

[Verse]
          D                        D/C#
First she asks for freedom an' she says that she's leavin'.
      Bm                         A
I say no 'cause I need her, then down comes the hammer.
     D                       D/C#
When I can't take her, I say I'll sign the papers.
    Bm                       A
She cries an' she won't take "Yes" for an answer:
C                    D
How am I supposed to choose,
          C               D       A
When it's heads she wins, tails I lose.

[Chorus]
                A                        F#m
She bought some little dresses an' got a big tattoo.
A                            F#m
Says I don't understand what she's goin' through:
D                C        G             A
Maybe middle-age crazy or just tired of us.
A                     F#m
An' maybe I'm foolish tryin' to make it work,
A                             F#m
But I made this promise: "For better or worse",
D                               C           G                 A
An' I'd do anything to make her happy, if I just knew what it was.

[Repeat Chorus]
     E
I've worked so hard,
    Tried so long 
          D                  N.C.
It's like everything I do is wrong

[Repeat Chorus]
C                    D
How am I supposed to choose,
          C               D       A
When it's heads she wins, tails I lose.
