Verse 1:
N.C. C7C7
She got up and put her makeup on
Made a pot of coffee extra strong
FF
At the kitchen table sucking on a cigarette
C7C7
Read the paper in a cloud of smoke
While the dirty dinner dishes soaked
FF
Woke up the kids and coaxed 'em out of bed
G+G FF
Then she burnt the toast just like the day before
N.C. C7C7
The day she got divorced
Verse 2:
N.C. C7C7
Left the kids with the girl next door
Parked her car at the county court

Around and around about the child support he'll never pay
C7C7
The judge said, "We're going to have to start
Without the party of the second part"
FF
'Cause the party of the second part was M.I.A.

The day she got divorced

Wasn't workin', had the whole day off
Bought a bottle, then she called her boss

First he told her that her hair looked nice
Promised he was gonna leave his wife
FF
Yeah, two more lies but she didn't care
G+G FF
'Cause it was just like every other day before
C7C7
The day she got divorced
Bridge:
E minor 7Em7
It didn't feel any different than it ever had

Kids are yakking with their hungry mouths
Dog scratching, laying on the couch
