Verse 1:

G+G         G7G7     G+G
We started having problems in August last year
             G7G7       G+G
So things have been kinda rough for quite awhile
           G7G7     G+G
And you know how you think it'll work itself out
   A7A7
Well mister that thought's wrong by a long long mile

You'll be sorry you asked me the reason

Verse 2:

G+G          G7G7      G+G
I might should have seen we were drifting apart
          G7G7        G+G
But I was in what I guess you'd call denial
              G7G7        G+G
And I had always heard them say you were the last one to know
   A7A7
Well buddy I was last by a long long mile

Chorus:

D MajorD          G+G      D MajorD
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason

And I know you were probably just acting polite
       D MajorD     A7A7     D MajorD
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why

Verse 3:
    G+G
Okay we both have a tendency to overreact
         G7G7        G+G
So I can't really tell you who's at fault
               G7G7
But there were certain third parties well her sister for one
      A7A7
That helped bring our reconciling to a drop dead halt

Chorus:

D MajorD          G+G      D MajorD
Aren't you sorry you asked me the reason
        G+G    A7A7
She's not here with me tonight
   D MajorD       G+G       D MajorD   G+G
And I know you were probably just acting polite
       D MajorD     A7A7     D MajorD
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
D MajorD          A7A7     D MajorD
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
     D MajorD     A7A7     D MajorD
I'm sure sorry you ever asked why

Ending:

   G+G        G7G7        G+G
Did I tell you how she tried to have me locked out of the house
         G7G7     G+G
Had to go hire a lawyer and all
    G+G          G7G7
But I know that was mostly her family's idea
 A7A7
I could hear them tell her what to say every time I called
