A                    E
I seen my old lady's boyfriend
A                          E  
He don't look nothing like me
A                      E
Except for a bit of confusion
A                     E
Same kind she laid on me
D              E                   A
You don't know what you're getting into
D           E        A
She's gonna tear you apart
D            E           A
You're gonna places I've been to
D      E          A
Take a look at my heart
G      A          D
Take a look at my heart
A                           E
You're probably sending her flowers
A                         E
And talking to her on the phone
A                     E
You're gonna get it together
A                     E
And find yourself all alone 
D              E                   A
You don't know what you're getting into
D           E        A
She's gonna tear you apart
D            E           A
You're gonna places I've been to
D      E          A
Take a look at my heart
G      A          D
Take a look at my heart
F#
Do you think you can be her lover
    D
And not become her fool
F#                            G                E
Do you think that you are the exception to the rule
A                             E
You're gonna hate all her girlfriends
A                        E
And everything that they say
A                        E
You ask me how do I know this
A                      E 
They come around every day
D              E                   A
You don't know what you're getting into
D           E        A
She's gonna tear you apart
D            E           A
You're gonna places I've been to
D      E          A
Take a look at my heart
G      A          D
Take a look at my heart
