She’s acting single (I’m drinking doubles)    (video)    (wiki)

 

    D - A - D (2x)

 

   D                     G                A      D             G                        D

1.     I’ve seen men look at her before and they think I don’t see,

D                   G         A                 D                E               A

    I’d like to think it makes me proud but I’m only foolin’ me.

D                   G          A         D            G                     D

    I’ll know she’d be lookin’ back the minute I’m not there,

                       D           G                     A  Bm  

    while she pours herself off some stranger,

           G                    A                 D

    I’ll pour myself a drink somewhere.

 

                      G                            D

She’s acting single, I’m drinkin’ doubles,

                Em   - G                      D

I hide my pain,       I drown my troubles.

                      G                              D

My heart is breaking like the tiny bubbles,

                    Em      - G                     D

she’s acting single,       I’m drinkin doubles.

 

(orig. moves up half a note to capo 4th here)

 

   D                 G           A         D             G                                 D

2.    I know what she plans to do, but I don’t know where or when,

D       G                     A           D    - E                                    A

    if I ask who that stranger was,       she’ll just say, an old friend.

D                 G       A         D   - G                                     D

    I’m not weak, I tell myself,        I stay, because I’m strong,

D                    G           A      Bm           G                   A               D

    but truth is I’m not man enough to stop her from doing me wrong.
