Wife Beater Chords & Lyrics - Drive-by Truckers

[G]You met him at the dance hall
You [D]only saw his charms
You [C]said he really swept you off your [G]feet

Then one night he's drinking
and [D]jealousy enraged
He [C]knocked out two of your front [G]teeth

[G]so you came over to [D]hide out at my place
[C]I guess I should have killed him there and [G]then
[G]but you begged me not to
[D]now you say he's changed
and [C]you're gonna go back to [G]him

[G]Don't give me that bull about [D]how it's for the children
[C]A man like that could never be a [G]dad
[G]What happens when he kills you'
[D]What will they do then'
[C]Sometimes you ought to ask yourself [G]that

[C]Don't go back to him he's a [G]wife beater
You'd[D] be better off with this [G]potato eater
[C]You say he's changed, don't [G]be a [Em]fool
[G]A man like that's no [D]good for [G]you
[G]A man like that's no [D]good for [G]you
