Em     Bm           Am 
Do the bad thing, 
             G       F#      Em 
Take off your wedding ring 
                  Bm           Am 
But it won't make it that much easier, 
              G        F# 
It might make it worse 
 
 
       Dm 
Oh the nights like a whirlwind 
                          Am 
Somebody's girlfriend's talkin' to me but it's alright 
                 Dm 
She's sayin that he's not gonna slap me or try to attack me 
Am 
Hes' not the jealous type 
      Dm                         Am 
And I only need to get half an excuse and I'm away 
       Dm                                Am 
But when there's no excuses that's much easier to say 
           
 
               Dm 
I've been before 
                       Am                           Dm 
And all these capers makers too good for her to ignore 
                         Am 
Well She's talkin but I'm not entirely sure 
 
 
Dm Am  x3 
G F# 
   
 
Em     Bm          Am  
Do the bad thing 
             G       F#      Em 
Take off your wedding ring 
                 Bm           Am 
But it wont make it that much easier 
                G      F# 
It might make it worse 
 
 
     Dm                                          Am 
Oh I'm stood at the bar and somebody's partner's talkin to me 
                              Dm 
But I don't know that is what she is 
                                   Am 
And she murmurs things to confirm that the tragedy is true 
       Dm                                   Am 
And I knew how could she not she could have anyone she wants 
        Dm                            Am 
And I'm strugglin to think of an immediate response 
 
              Dm 
Like I don't mind 
Be a big mistake 
    Am 
For you to wait 
                      Dm 
And let me waste your time 
                 Am 
Really Love it's fine 
                       Dm Am x3  G F# 
Said really Love it's fine 
 
             Em                                   Bm 
And then the first time it occurred that there was something to destroy, 
  Am                               G              F# 
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy 
   Em 
Oh but she carried on suggesting 
    Bm 
I struggled to refuse 
     Am                                        G       F#    Em* 
She said "its the red wine this time, but that is no excuse"
