CAPO: 2nd FRET/KEY: D/PLAY: C
C F C
Our little boy is four years old andquite a little man
D G7
So we spell out the words we don't want him to under-stand
Like [C]T-O-Y or maybe S-U-[C7]R [F]P-R-[G7]I-S-[C]E

F C
But the words we're hiding from him now
G C
Tear the heart right out of me.
[C]Our D-I-V-O-R-C-[C7]E; [F] becomes [G7]final to-[C]day

D G7
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' a-way
C F G7 C
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I [F]wish that we could [C]stop this D-I-V-O-[G7]R-C-[C]E.

Change to D:
D
Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas
G D
Or his 5th Birth-ay
And he thinks C-U-S-O-T-D-Y [E]spells fun or [A7]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 a-way this hurt
A D
That's drippin' down my cheek.
[D]Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E [D7]; [G] becomes [A7]final to-[D]day

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