INTRO

[/] [G/Am7/D]
We’ve talked it to death, cryin’ on the telephone.
Nights when he drinks at home,
she has to whisper throught her tears.[G/Am7-D/]

“Johnny,” she says, “you’d never do these things to me.”

But I can neve[Em/E]r make her see he’s wasted such precious years.
Well, “you married the wrong guy” is all I ever say.

CHORUS

He’s a no good so and so, but she'll never let him go.[Ab+]

Though she knows it will never work, she loves the jerk.
She loves the jerk.[G/Am7-D/]

2nd Verse

He was the guy always out on the make.

I guess he had what it takes to t[G/Am7-D/]urn the heads of pretty girls.

She thought he would change; the worst of us will settle down.

But he couldn’t stay out of to[Em/E]wn, not even with this precious pearl.

Now she lives with the lies and the bumps and the bruises.

REPEAT CHORUS, THEN BRIDGE

Well, I hang up the phone and I pretend she’s in my arms.

He’s a no good so and so, but she’ll never let him go.[Bb+]

Though she knows it will never work, she loves the jerk.

She loves the jerk.
