[Verse]
Dm
Well I had just met the girl and her boyfriend
Gm Dm
She was ready for leaving him
Am
And I was the way, I was the key
Gm Dm
I was her way to say 'I'm free'
Gm Am
And he would never talk about it, which made me sad
Gm Am Dm
I didn't see what we done that was so bad
[Chorus]
Gm Am
We were all about 21
Gm Am
My career as a homewrecker
Dm
Had just begun
[Verse]
Dm
I was thinking about the Boston rock scene one fine day
Gm Dm
And found it too conservative, you might say
Dm
I knew her well, I knew him terrific
Am
What's wrong if we wanted something specific?
[Chorus]
Gm Am
He never talk about it, which hurted me
Gm Am Dm
I never saw what that sorrow had to be
[Chorus]
Gm Am
I was now about 24,
Gm Am
And I was called homewrecker
Dm
Once more
[Verse]
Dm
If someone's mad at me, why can't they tell me so?
Gm
Why do they just avoid me?
Dm
If someone's mad at me, why can't they tell me so?
Am Dm
Because I would want to know
[Verse]
Dm
Meanwhile out on the west coast
I started wrecking homes
Gm Am Dm
Tryin to convince girlfriends to leave and roam
Dm
Now I didn't touch them, cause I didn't want them
Am Dm
But I wanted to effect them, I wanted to haunt them
[Chorus]
Gm Am
And this was the following year
Gm Am Dm
My career as a homewrecker was in third gear
[Verse]
Dm
Another case of homewreckin I have did
Gm Dm
Was the girl who loved me, no matter what she said
Dm
She tried to hide it, as long as she could
Am Gm Dm
To save her boyfriend pain: but it did no good
[Verse]
Dm
You see I have certain traits and certain wants
Gm Dm
Sometimes I'll try a certain thing, to provoke a response
Dm
Sometimes I'll break a rule, just to see who looks
Am Gm Dm
Sometimes I'll knock on a door, just to see what cooks
[Verse]
Dm
My career as a homewrecker is not yet through
Gm Am Dm
There's all these homewrecking things to do
Sometimes I'll break a rule just to see who cares
Am Dm
Sometimes I'll knock just to see who's there
