play intro over lines of the verse
D
my husband left me last night
D
left me a poor and lonely wife
D
and I cooked the meals, and he lived the life
D
and now I'm just down for the rest of my time
D
Oh he, Oh me, Oh My
A
I speak because I can
GD
To anyone I trust enough to listen
A
You speak because you can
GD
To anyone Who'll hear what you say
Gb
hmmm-mm
GD
I swear it was not my choice
Gb
hmmm-mm
GD
I Used to be so kind
Never rode my bike down to the sea
never finished that letter I was writing
never got up and said anything
worthy, for he, oh my
G
Graceful sleeper
D
Midnight dreamer
GD
I'm Floored by your sound
GD
I'm Floored by your sound
Gb
hmmm-m
GD
I swear it was not my choice
GbGD
to reach out to someone wise
GbGD
I used to be so kind
GbGD
I used to be so kind
AGD
At the breaking of the morning you'll be dancing on my soft lawn
AGD
when you're shaking out the anger that stops you from taking my calls
AGD
when you're running up the highway singing I'm the king, the king of you all
AGD
and you look back to where you started, I'll be there waving you on
never rode my bike down to the sea
never quite figured out what I believe
never got up and said anything
worthy, for he, oh my.
