Chance Of A Lifetime

	  		
Intro: D G (x4) 

       D 
I came staggerin' in, in the middle of the night 
         G 
I got my alibi sewed up nice and tight 
            D 
Cracked the bedroom door, I tried to keep it from squeakin' 
         G 
'Cause I know there's a wildcat in there sleepin' 
        D                    G 
But the light was on and the bed was made 
          D                        G 
There's a dear john written on the pillow case 

               D 
She said, I've gone to the Bahamas, I've had it with the drama 
        G 
Time to get out of town, I'm just slowin' you down 
            D                                                  A 
She said, I found somebody that likes the things that you used to 
               D 
Yeah, and he's got a lot of money, we're goin' where it's sunny 
    G                   E 
And baby, he's a looker too 
                   D                    A 
She said, it was a chance of a lifetime what was I supposed to do

Oh yeah, I woke up this mornin' in a terrible mess 
          G 
I had the telephone ringin' and her cat on my chest 
    D 
I'm wipin' the sleep out of my bloodshot eyes 
         G 
Oh, it's gotta be her callin' to apologize 
    D                              G 
She must be feelin' bad 'cause she done me wrong 
        D                        G 
Then I, I pushed the button on a Code-A-Phone
