[Intro ]
 
C D C D     C C G G 
 
     C 
1.I hated like the devil 
      G 
  To tell her we were through 
  C 
  I was sure it would break her heart 
                     G 
  Tear her world in two 
 
   G 
  She is such a fragile thing 
           C 
  Lord, I hate to make her cry 
         G              C 
  So I broke it to her gently 
       D           C        G 
  When I told her goodbye 
 
 
       C                D 
C.She cussed me like a sailor 
            C 
  Kicked a hole through the kitchen wall 
        G 
  She threw a fit and threw the phone 
        G            C 
  Half-way down the hall 
 
           G 
  She said"I'll be down at the bar" 
          C                     D 
  Then I heard the front door slam 
          G 
  I guess all in all 
       C              G       C C G G 
  She took it like a man 
 
 
2.I was thinking she'd reach out to me 
  And beg me not to go 
  Or run straight to her momma's 
  'Cause I'd hurt her so 
 
  Thought she'd be devastated 
  I had a tender moment plan 
  I didn't think that she could take it 
  But she took it like a man 
 
Repeat Chorus
