Intro 

CDCD     CCGG

     C
1.I hated like the devil
      G
  To tell her we were through
  C
  I was sure it would break her heart
                     G
  Tear her world in two

   G
  She is such a fragile thing
           C
  Lord, I hate to make her cry
         G              C
  So I broke it to her gently
       D           C        G
  When I told her goodbye


       C                D
C.She cussed me like a sailor
            C
  Kicked a hole through the kitchen wall
        G
  She threw a fit and threw the phone
        G            C
  Half-way down the hall

           G
  She said"I'll be down at the bar"
          C                     D
  Then I heard the front door slam
          G
  I guess all in all
       C              G       CCGG
  She took it like a man


2.I was thinking she'd reach out to me
  And beg me not to go
  Or run straight to her momma's
  'Cause I'd hurt her so

  Thought she'd be devastated
  I had a tender moment plan
  I didn't think that she could take it
  But she took it like a man

Repeat Chorus
