| G  | G  |



♫ Verse 1:
          G                      C
You're asleep on the couch with Tammy
         D                      G
And she looks straight up at me
                              C
The reproach in her eyes is imagined
         D                       G
But the pain that I feel is real
           Em                    D
She jumps down and her tail is swishing
        C            Am            D
Like a feather right under your nose
              Em    C             D    G
And then you wake up and you're bleary-eyed
D/F#        C             D        G
I say "I'm sorry"
I can see you cried

♫ Verse 2:
           G                        C
You look frail as you stand before me
          D                 G
Then you curse and kick a chair
                                        C
And the dog, bless her heart, licks my fingers
         D                      G
But she jerks every time you swear
        Em                     D
I feel sick and my hands arе shakin'
         C           Am          D
This is how all our fights have begun
                Em    C         D               G
You say you've had it, and you say "Scrеw you!"
D/F#      C                 D         G
I say "I love you", and I know it's true


♫ Chorus:
C                         G
 You're not the man you should have been
D                    G
 I let you down somehow (Not the one I could've been)
C                     G
 I'm not the woman I could have been (I can be that woman)
D                         G
 But I can be that woman now


♫ Verse 3:
           G                           C
You're confused when you turn to face me
        D              G
Is it true or is she drunk?
                                      C
But it's clear that I've hit my rock bottom
      D                    G
I'm aware of how far I've sunk
         Em                  D
And the dog is the first to feel it
            C         Am          G
There's a shimmer of hope in your eyes
             Em      D             C        G
You can't believe it, but you're close to tears
D/F#        C             D       G
Oh but I'm sorry for the wasted years


♫ Chorus:
                             C                         G
(Not the one I could've been) You're not the man you should have been
                D                    G
(I let you down) I let you down somehow
                             C                     G
(Not the one I could've been) I'm not the woman I could have been
                     D                         G
(I can be that woman) But I can be that woman now
