Intro: Am
   
Am   
That lipstick on your collar, well, it ain't my shade of pink   
          Em    
And I can tell by the smell of that perfume, it's like forty dollars too cheap   
              Am   
And there's a little wine stain on the pocket of your white cotton thread   
           Em    
Well, you drink beer and whiskey, boy, and you know I don't drink red   
   
C   
Found it over in the corner, wadded up on the bedroom floor   
Dm   
You shoulda hid it in the closet, you shoulda burned it, you shoulda lost it   
   
    Am   
Now I'ma have to hang you out to dry, dry, dry   
Em                                    
Clothespin all your secrets to the line, line, line   
Am                                                 Em    
Leave 'em blowing in the wind, just say goodbye to you   
         (Am)   
All those midnights sneaking in, "I'm late again, oh, I'm so sorry"   
                                                            Am   
All the Ajax in the world ain't gonna clean your dirty laundry   
   
   
Am   
If the neighbors get to asking, I won't cover nothin' up   
     Em    
I'll tell 'em every little detail, how you drug me through the mud   
          Am   
I'm gonna string up your old button-down and slide it on the porch   
Em    
Just in case you get the nerve to come knockin' on my door   
   
   
      Am   
Yeah, I'ma have to hang you out to dry, dry, dry   
Em    
Clothespin all your secrets to the line, line, line
