Intro: G

Verse 1:
          G                           C
Well they repossessed my ex�s missing alimony payment
          G                                D    
Like they repossessed my pickup truck last night
    G                                      C
Now she won�t drive me to the bar, but she sure drove me to drinking
   G              D                  G
We got divorced because she likes to fight 

Chorus:
        G                                C
I can�t afford to pay attention till she got my whole check
    G                      A                  D
But if I paid attention my life wouldn�t be a wreck
       G                              C
Didn�t hear it when they told me this marriage would fail
      G                               D               G
But I hear the postman leaving now the check�s in the mail

Verse 2:
    G                                 C 
Now she don�t want me anymore but she likes my hard earned pay
    G                               A           D
She never took my love but she took everything away
    G                             C
She took me to the poor house the day she took me to court
  G                 D          G
I wonder why we got married anyway


Chorus


Verse 3:
         G                          C
Will she meet a millionaire that�ll take her far away
  G                             A                D
I can afford to eat because she wouldn�t take my pay
    G                           C
She wants so bad to kill me but she won�t let me die
        G              D        G
All she cares about is money anyway


Chorus
         G                              C
I didn�t hear it when they told me this marriage would fail
      G                                D              G
Now I hear the postman leaving now the check�s in the mail

End on G
