VERSE:
D                               Dmaj7             Bm
Two broken hearts lonely looking houses,
            D           Em7  A  Em7  A
where nobody lives
Em                        Em+7                  Em7
Two people each having so much pride inside
A                    D             Dmaj7 Bm D
Neither side forgives
       C                    Am            C
The angry words spoken in haste
            D                     G      Em7 Bm Em7
Such a waste of two lives
A         Em7                        A                  Em7
Its my belief pride is the chief in the decline

BRIDGE:
D(strum)
A woman and a man, A man and a woman
G(strum)    A(strum)                D   Dmaj7 Bm E Em A
Some can, some cain't, some can

Ohhh, (Repeat first verse)
          A          Em7                       A                  Em7
Yeah, its my belief pride is the chief in the decline

In the number of husbands and wives
