VERSE:
Em            Am            G           Em
  Belinda was mine 'til the time that I found her
G         Am  G            Am
  Holdin' Jim,  and loving him
Em              Am               G                  Em
  Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought
G        Am   G              Am
  Me and Sue,  but that died too.

  I've had it to here being where love's a small word
 G            Am    G        Am
  A part time thing, a paper ring
Em                 Am          G            Em
  I know it's been done havin' one girl who loves me

  Right or wrong, weak or strong
