D#m 
Well I had just met the girl and her boyfriend
G#m                     D#m
She was ready for leavin him
                  Bbm
And I was the way, I was the key
G#m                      D#m
I was her way to say 'I'm free'


Bbm
And he would never talk about it

Which made me sad
G#m
I didn't see what we done
           D#m
That was so bad


G#m               Bbm
We were all about 21
     G#m                Bbm
My career as a homewrecker
        D#m
Had just begun



I was thinkin about the Boston rock scene one fine day
   G#m                                  D#m
And found it too conservative, you might say

I knew her well, I knew him terrific
      Bbm 
What's wrong if we wanted something specific?


  G#m
He never talk about it
     Bbm
Which hurted me
 G#m                 Bbm           D#m
I never saw what that sorrow had to be


G#m            Bbm
I was now about 24
   G#m               Bbm
And I was called homewrecker
    D#m
Once more


D#m
If someone's mad at me

Why can't they tell me so?
G#m
Why do they just avoid me?
D#m
If someone's mad at me

Why can't they tell me so?
G#m            Bbm     D#m
Because I would want to know


D#m
Meanwhile out on the west coast

I started wreckin homes
G#m                             D#m
Tryin to convince girlfriends to leave and roam

Now I didn't touch them, cause I didn't want them
     G#m
But I wanted to effect them
 Bbm            D#m
I wanted to harm them


G#m             Bbm
And this was the following year
  G#m                  Bbm
My career as a homewrecker
            D#m
Was in third gear


D#m
Another case of homewreckin I have did
       G#m
Was the girl that loved me
                  D#m
No matter what she said

She tried to hide it

As long as she could
Bbm
To save her boyfriend pain

But it did no good


D#m
You see I have certain traits and certain wants
              G#m                              D#m
Sometimes I'll try a certain thing to provoke a response

Sometimes I'll break a rule
       Bbm
Just to see who looks
              G#m
Sometimes I'll knock on a door
       Bbm        D#m
Just to see what's there


D#m
My career as a homewrecker is not yet through
G#m                          Bbm       D#m
There's all these homewreckin things to do

Sometimes I'll break a rule just to see who cares
              G#m                     D#m
Sometimes I'll knock just to see who's there

Lyrics

Well I had just met the girl and her boyfriend
She was ready for leaving him
And I was the way, I was the key
I was her way to say 'I'm free'

And he would never talk about it
Which made me sad
I didn't see what we done
That was so bad

We were all about 21
My career as a homewrecker
Had just begun

I was thinking about the Boston rock scene one fine day
And found it too conservative, you might say
I knew her well, I knew him terrific
What's wrong if we wanted something specific?

He never talk about it
Which hurted me
I never saw what that sorrow had to be

I was now about 24
And I was called homewrecker
Once more

If someone's mad at me
Why can't they tell me so?
Why do they just avoid me?
If someone's mad at me
Why can't they tell me so?
Because I would want to know

Meanwhile out on the west coast
I started wrecking homes
Trying to convince girlfriends to leave and roam
Now I didn't touch them, cause I didn't want them
But I wanted to effect them
I wanted to harm them

And this was the following year
My career as a homewrecker
Was in third gear

Another case of homewrecking I have did
Was the girl that loved me
No matter what she said
She tried to hide it
As long as she could
To save her boyfriend pain
But it did no good

You see I have certain traits and certain wants
Sometimes I'll try a certain thing to provoke a response
Sometimes I'll break a rule
Just to see who looks
Sometimes I'll knock on a door
Just to see what's there

My career as a homewrecker is not yet through
There's all these homewrecking things to do
Sometimes I'll break a rule just to see who cares
Sometimes I'll knock just to see who's there

Lyrics

Well I had just met the girl and her boyfriend
[You can't know this song right?
How's this one?]

I had just met the girl and her boyfriend
She was ready for leaving him
And I was the way, I was the key
I was her way to say 'I'm free'

And the boyfriend would never talk about it
Which made me sad
Cause you see, I never saw what we had done
That really was so bad

We were all around 21
And my career as a homewrecker
Had just begun

[You see I grew up in Boston Massachusetts]

I was thinking about the Boston rock scene one fine day
And found it too conservative, you might say
I knew her well, I knew him terrific
What's so wrong if she and I wanted something specific?

He never would talk about it
Which hurted me
Me, I never saw why such sorrow had to be

I was now about 24
And I was called homewrecker
Once more

You see I have certain traits
Certain wants
Sometimes I'll try a certain thing
Just to provoke a response

Sometimes I'll break a rule
Just to see who looks
Sometimes I'll knock on a door
Just to see what cooks

[Ooh Jonathan, you're so bad]

If someone's mad at me
Why can't they just tell me so?
Why do they just avoid me?
If someone's mad at me
Why can't they tell me so?
Because I would want to know

Meanwhile out on the west coast
I started wrecking homes
Trying to convince girlfriends to leave and roam
Now I didn't touch them, cause I didn't want them
I just wanted to effect them
I wanted to harm them

And this was the following year
My career as a homewrecker
Was in third gear

Guitar one time

Another case of homewrecking that I have did
Was the girl that loved me
No matter what she said
She tried to hide it
For as long as she could
To save her boyfriend pain
But it did no good

Now my career as a homewrecker is not yet through
There's still homewrecking things to do
Sometimes I'll break a rule just to see who cares
Sometimes I'll knock just to see who's there

[And folks, that's intermission
See you in ten minutes]
