 Verse
 A  Bm  C  Bm     
 Ive been run down
 Ive been lied to
 And I dont know why I let that mean woman make me a fool
 She took all my money
 Wrecked my new car
 And now shes with one of my good time buddies drinking in some cross town bar.

 Verse 2:
 A  Bm  C  Bm      
 My friends tell me
 That I've been such a fool
 And I have to stand by and take it, babe all for loving you.
 I drown myself in sorrow.
 Cause I look at what you've done.
 But nothing seems to change. The bad times stay the same, and I can't run.
