Intro: C-G7-C
C
I got back in town a day before I'd planned to
G7 C
I smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife
F C
I don't think I'll phone, I'll just get on home
G7 C
For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life
C
I passed a little wine store on the corner
G7 C
I pictured pink champagne by candle light
F C
I stopped the car right then, got out and hurried in
G7 C
My mind not on the cold hard facts of life
F C
A stranger stood there laughing by the counter
G7 C
He said I'll have two bottles of your best
F C
Her husband's out of town and there's a party
G7
He winked as if to say you know the rest
C
I left the store two steps behind the stranger
G7 C
From there to my house his car stayed in sight
F C
But It wasn't till he turned into my drive that I learned
G7 C
I was witnessing the cold hard facts of life
F C
I drove around the block till I was dizzy
G7 C
Each time the noise came louder from within
F C
And then I saw our bottle there beside me
G7
I drank a fifth of courage and walked in
C
Lord you should have seen their frantic faces
G7 C
They screamed and cried please put away that knife
F C
I guess I'll go to hell, or I'll rot here in this cell
G7 C
But who taught who the cold hard facts of life
G7 C
Who taught who the cold hard facts of life
