She looks in the mirror and stares at the
G
Wrinkles that weren't there yesterday
AD
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
GDEmF#7
What would he think if he saw her this way
D
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion
G
As something comes into her mind
AD
Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
GDEmA7
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
DEmDEm
Oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
DEmDA
You see everywhere any time of the day
GD
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
D
The photograph album she takes
GAD
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
GDEmF#7
The first one he gave her now withered with age
D
She closes her eyes and touches the
G
House dress that suddenly disappears
A
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown
GDEmA7
That broke all their minds back so many years
DEmDEm
Oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
DEmDA
You see everywhere any time of the day
GD
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
