[Opening]
[E]Hey you were standing by the screen door slamming
Rather clear what’s taking [B]place. You were holding on to Louie
He was packing, he was heavy that plastic handle just about to [E]break
[E]Well then you picked up Chloe. She knew y’all were going
She started [E7]barking like a [A]tank. I was [B]shocked and I was joking,
But I would not be longing. Cause I got Jim and Jack and [E]Hank

[chorus]
Take [A]your string bikinis, your apple martinis
Take [E]what’s left there in the bank
Take your [A]flat iron and your curlers
Your sparkling water and that [F#]damn perfume I never [B7]liked
Take your [E]black Mercedes all that stuff for ladies
To [E7]me you’re just a total [A]blank, go on and leave me baby
[E]I don’t need you, I [B]got, Jim and Jack and [E]Hank

[verse 2]
[E]Well now you left screaming and your tires screeching
That little dog right in your [B]lap

[B]I have become a little sad and I called up my old Dad
He said son you just woke me from my [E]nap

[verse 4]
[E]I told him you had left me. He said now son don’t you hate me
You know [E7]exactly what I [A]think. You [B]know you’re better off
You can fish and you can golf. You still got Jim and Jack and [E]Hank

[chorus]
Take [A]your string bikinis, your apple martinis
Take [E]what’s left there in the bank Take your [A]flat iron and your curlers
Your sparkling water and that [F#]damn perfume I never [B7]liked
Take your [E]black Mercedes all that stuff for ladies
To [E7]me you’re just a total [A]blank, go on and leave me Baby
[E]I don’t need you, I [B]got Jim and Jack and [E]Hank, that’s right

[verse 5]
[E] [B] [E] [A] [B] [E]
[E]So I got out the whiskey I began to listen to songs out in my truck you couldn’t [B]crank
I started feeling empty then again it hit me. I got Jim and Jack and [E]Hank

[chorus]
Take [A]your string bikinis, your apple martinis
Take [E]what’s left there in the bank Take your [A]flat iron and your curlers
Your sparkling water and that [F#]damn perfume I never [B7]liked
Take your [E]black Mercedes all that stuff for ladies
To [E7]me you’re just a total [A]blank, go on and leave me Baby
[E]I don’t need you, I [B]got Jim and Jack and [E]Hank

[verse 6]
[E]Yeah now [A]go on and leave me baby [E]I don’t need you I [B]got Jim and Jack and [E]Hank
