C
Hung my head when I heard the sound
G
I drove straight back to the burial ground
C                                     G
I saw you there, you were singing out loud
        C
Was the same old song that you used to sing
         G
When you made your bed right next to me
       C                         G
And I loved you then, I still do now
      C
Was a gray-blue grave and a short red dress
  G
I knew you well, it suits you best
      C                               G
Where have you been for the past five years?
C

The last I heard is you took some time
G
You drove straight down the 405
       Em               C        G
And we both know why you left me here




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

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

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

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


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

head in the water cause you won't find another like me
                           C
And every morning when you call his name
G
Think about another, think about another
