She Loves The Jerk

	  		G 
       G 
We've talked it to death 
                    Am 
Crying on the telephone 
                          C 
Nights when he drinks at home 
     D/F#                       G     Am D 
She has to whisper through the tears 

F# G 
“Darling,” she says, 
                             Am 
“You never do these things to me” 
                          C 
But I could never make her see 
      D/F#                 Em  E 
He's wasted such precious years 

      Am                       D/F#        G 
“You married the wrong guy” is all I ever say 
               E 
He's a no-good so-and-so 
Am                /G# 
 But she'll never let him go 
            /G                D                   G          
Though she knows it'll never work, she loves the jerk 
C/G             G   Am D/A 
 She loves the jerk 

G 
He was the guy 
                   Am 
Always out on the lake 
                        C 
I guess he had what it takes 
    D/F#                     G    Am D/A 
To turn the heads of pretty girls 

      G 
She thought he would change 
                             Am 
The worst of us will settle down 
                             C/G 
But he couldn't stay out of town 
    D/F#                    Em  E 
Not even for this precious pearl 

         Am                          D/F#                
Now she lives with the lies and the bumps and the bruises 
G               E 
 He's a no-good so-and-so 
Am                /G# 
 But she'll never let him go 
            /G                D                   G 
Though she knows it'll never work, she loves the jerk 
C/G             G    G7 
 She loves the jerk 

C/G             D/F#          B7/F#           Em 
I hang up the phone and I pretend she's in my arms 
C/G               B7/F#             Em                D/F#             E 
 What I wouldn't give for just one tenth of what she gives Mr. Charming 

A               F# 
 He's a no-good so-and-so 
Bm                /Bb 
 But she'll never let him go 
             Bm(/F#)          E                   A 
Though she knows it'll never work, she loves the jerk 
D               A 
 She loves the jerk 
D               A 
 She loves the jerk 
D               A 
 She loves the jerk 
D               A 
 She loves the jerk
