C majorC G+G C majorC G+G

C majorC
Hung my head when I heard the sound
G+G
I drove straight back to the burial ground
C majorC                   G+G
I saw you there, you were singing out loud
    C majorC
Was the same old song that you used to sing
     G+G
When you made your bed right next to me
    C majorC             G+G
And I loved you then, I still do now
   C majorC
Was a gray-blue grave and a short red dress
 G+G
I knew you well, it suits you best
   C majorC                G+G
Where have you been for the past five years?
C majorC
The last I heard is you took some time
G+G
You drove straight down the 405
    E minorEm        C majorC    G+G
And we both know why you left me here



  E minorEm   C majorC      G+G
But oh, how things have changed
E minorEm  C majorC   G+G
Now I act my age
  E minorEm   C majorC   G+G
And you are older, too
  E minorEm   C majorC    G+G
So why not see this through?

       E minorEm         C majorC
'Cause you're fast asleep and you choose to be
G+G                       E minorEm
Head in the water, you won't find another like me
              C majorC
And every morning when you call his name
    G+G
You'll think about another, think about another
   E minorEm    C majorC G+G
Just say, just say    ---[Could be "Just say, just sayYY yeah"]
   E minorEm    C majorC G+G
Just say, just say

C majorC G+G
C majorC G+G

   C majorC
And I had you come for a midnight drink
    G+G
And you left your things by the kitchen sink
   E minorEm           G+G
Your pocketbook, can't you stay?
   C majorC
And quit your job that you hate so much
   G+G
We'll both get by, we'll both make love
      E minorEm        G+G
But you're here tonight, anyway  ---[I think it is actually "And" instead of "But," but I think the latter
                   sounds better]

  E minorEm   C majorC      G+G
But oh, how things have changed
E minorEm  C majorC   G+G
Now I act my age
  E minorEm   C majorC   G+G
And you are older, too
  E minorEm   C majorC    G+G
So why not see this through?


       E minorEm         C majorC
'Cause you're fast asleep and you choose to be
     G+G                          E minorEm
Got your head in the water cause you won't find another like me
              C majorC
And every morning when you call his name
    G+G
You'll think about another, (oh you'll) think about another
   E minorEm    C majorC G+G
Just say, just say
   E minorEm    C majorC G+G
Just say, just say

E minorEm C majorC G+G
E minorEm C majorC G+G
E minorEm C majorC G+G
E minorEm C majorC G+G

       E minorEm         C majorC
'Cause you're fast asleep and you choose to be
G+G                          E minorEm
head in the water cause you won't find another like me
              C majorC
And every morning when you call his name
G+G
Think about another, think about another
   E minorEm    C majorC G+G
Just say, just say
   E minorEm    C majorC G+G
Just say, just say
   E minorEm    C majorC G+G
Just say, just say
   E minorEm    C majorC G+G
