hi nmontgomery welcome to chordie,i sure hope things turn out right for you now you've got out of your situation,as for the song ,its a humbling story and i'd use chords[c][f][g] ,three easy basic chords :
                       [c]he [f]left a handprint [c]on her face,
                       her[f]heart broken[c]in the night,
                       she'll[f]swear he did'nt[c]mean to,
                       she[f]messed up,he was[c]right,
                       [f]she should have never[c] crossed him,
                       its[g] really not his[c] fault,
                       he;ll[f] cry and say he's[c] sorry,
                       when the[g] alcohol wears [c]off.

i hope this helps,take care....stay cool
