A Few Words To Remember Me By

Spoken:
A                                 D
Hello there darling, don’t get up, I can’t stay long
E                           A 
I just came to get my things and then I'm gone
  A                         D
I got time for a quick hello but then it’s goodbye
E                                    A 
I just want to leave you a few words to remember me why


You know in my life of love you weren’t the first
But I think it’s safe to say you were definitely the worst
Cause you took and you took and you never did give back
Don’t speak now baby just listen and help me pack

You know I used to come home from work everyday all tired and beat 
And all you could do is yell at me because I didn’t pick you up to eat
You were always naming every little thing you thought I was doing wrong
Baby I don’t want to name your faults the list would be far too long

Like how bout when you would get drunk, you’d always ask the fool
Then you’d come over and try to kiss me with breath that I swear could choke a mule
And your sweet little voice well it was just like nails runnin’ across a chalkboard
You know I never did get a good night’s sleep with the way you’d snore

And all your stupid, stupid friends that you seemed to love so well
Would do you do me a favor honey, you tell every single last one of them I hope they go to hell
Cause you were always tellin’ them every single last detail
Oh baby I cant count the number of times that I wanted to run you out of town on a rail

Well I'm all packed so I guess this means goodbye
I’d say I was gonna miss you but you know I hate to tell a lie
And I gotta say it’s kinda funny to sit and watch you cry
But I just wanted to leave you a few words to remember me by
