Read it in the paper, marked the date on the wall
     G                         D5
To remind myself to celebrate the day I lose it all
        D5                         Csus4
They made plans to be together.  I made plans to be alone.

Damn right I've got objections, but it's awful too late now.
       G                         D5
Yea the cans are on the limo and the rice is on the ground.
       D5                            Csus4
They're headed for the islands, but hell I'm already gone.
        G         C    G           D5
She got a rock,           I'm gettin' stoned

Here's to holdin' up and gettin' right where I belong.

That preacher was my jailer, now this bottle is my bail.

So much for all that prayin' her I do would be I don't.

Outro:
Vamp on D5

*Note* If you prefer, you can play the F/C in place of the Csus4 throughout the song.  
I think the open note sounds better, and is what is being played on the album.
Try both and you'll agree it's very hard to tell.
The F/C looks like this:

D-1
A-1
F-2
C-3
G-3
C-X
