[Intro]
D  A  G  D
 
[Verse 1]
     D            A
Came home loaded again,
            G                    D
Watched the sun come with all my good timin' friends
       D                  A
We all know how the story ends
D      A
DI-V-O-R-C-E
          D                      A
Pulled my truck, right up in the yard
          G                              D
Said some things about her momma and she took it kinda hard
       D                   A
And my get outta jail free card
D               A
Got used up way back in '03
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
    G                             D
She don't think that it's cute anymore
          A                      D
To see me begging on my knees outside her front door
        G                            D
I could try to win her back but what for
      E7                     A
She's heard all my excuses before
 
 
[Chorus 1]
               G
This ain't the first time, she's thrown me out
    D
And sent me packin' to sleep on the couch
  A
I know too well what that's all about
               D           D
This ain't the first time
               G
This ain't the first time, she's said we're through
        D
But I'm startin' to believe it might be true
      A
And I don't think that I'm sorry is a-gonna do
               G*    G*                 D*    D*
This ain't the first time, but it's the worst time
 
 
[Instrumental 1]
D  A  G  D
D  A  G  D
 
 
[Verse 2]
         D                     A
If she's right, Lord knows I'm wrong
            G                         D
Keepin' her up each night singin' the same ole song
           D                          A
Don't know why she's let me live this long
      G                                  A
There must of been some love there but I think that it's gone
          D                 A
You could say I took it too far
            G                            D
And when it comes to screwin' up, well I get the gold star
           D                             A
Cause this time when I got home from the bar
  D                                 A
I find all of my clothes thrown all over the lawn
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
      G                                   D
She's changed the locks and unplugged the phone
      A                           D
She's had it up to here and she's making it known
      G                            D
She's thrown out everything that I own
  E7                            A
I best be gettin used to bein' alone
 
 
[Chorus 2]
               G
This ain't the first time, her foot's come down
D
Smack dab on top of this stupid clown
A
Sendin' shock waves all over town
               D           D
This ain't the first time
               G
This ain't the first time she's walked away
          D
Leavin me on my knees without a word to say
         A
But if I opened my mouth it would get worse anyway
               G*    G*                D*    D*
This ain't the first time but it's the worst time
                   G*    G*                      D*    D*
No, This ain't the first time, but it's just the worst time
 
[Outro]
D  A  G  D*
