G G x2

[Verse 1]
G                                     C       D      G
Our little boy is four years old and  quite a little man
                                    A                D7
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
     G                  G7  C   D7  G
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R   P-R-I-S-E
         C                  G
But the words we're hiding from him now
                      D     G
Tear the heart right out of me

[Chorus]
G               G7  C          D7     G
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E;    becomes final today
                    A                 D7
Me and little J-O-E   will be goin' away
  G                                  C   D7          G
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
   C                G                         D7  G
Oh how I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E

[Verse 2]
A
Watch him smile, he thinks it's Christmas
D      E         A
Or his 5th Birthday
                          B               E7
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
   A                         A7
I spell out all the hurtin' words
     D      E7           A
And turn my head when I speak
       D               A
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
                 E        A
That's drippin' down my cheek

[Chorus]
A               A7  D        E7      A
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E    becomes final today
                    B                 E7
Me and little J-O-E   will be goin' away
  A                                 D   E7           A
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
      D                  A                E7   A
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

[Chorus]
A               A7  D        E7      A
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E    becomes final today
                    B                 E7
Me and little J-O-E   will be goin' away
  A                                 D   E7           A
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
      D                  A                E7   A
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
