Our lit-tle boy is four years old 
3    -3* -3* -3  3  -2
and quite a lit-tle man
4  -5  -5 5 -5  -55  -5
So we spell out the words 
-54 -3*   -3*  4  4  -5 4-3* 4 -3   
we don't want him to un-der-stand
4   -55-55-55 5 -5  5 -5-5-3*-3*-3*3-33-3-33-2   
Like T- O- Y or may-be S-U- R P- R-  I- S-  E
-2  -2   3     -3*  -5* -5*  -5  -54 -3*
But the words we're hid-ing from him now
-3*   4   -5    -5   4-3*-3 -3*
Tear the heart right out of me.

Our D- I- V- O- R- C- E; 
-3* -3*   4 -3* 4  -5
be-comes fi-nal to-day
-55-55 -55 -55-55-5-3* 5   5  -5 4   4 -3
Me and lit-tle J-O- E will be go-in' a-way
-2 -5  -5   -5   5  -5  5   -5
I love you both and it will be 
-5  -3*-3* -3*-3*-33 -3 -2
pure H- E doub-le L for me
-3*-3  3    -3* -5* -5*   -55 -55 
Oh, I wish that we could stop this 
-3*4-544-3*4-3*-3-3*
D- I-V- O-  R-  C-E.


Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas
Or his 5th Birth-day
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
And turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's drippin' down my cheek.

Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E; becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be packed up & goin' away
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
