Intro:

 
 
     D
When I was a young girl,
       G          D
And we courted as two
A
Sophomore sweethearts,
D            D7
I thought of you
 
   G
My bright and bold hero
       D
Who’d come from afar 
     A
With wisdom, true love
 
And a shiny used car.
Gm
But your angry words
D
Over the years
     Asus4
Your hard jealous heart
 D          D7
Ignoring my tears
 
 Gm
Caused me in time 
    D
To know who you are
    A            D
And learn who I am
 
 
Verse 1:
 
    D                                  G
You claimed to understand things that confused me.
           D                                    A
Cuz as a man you knew just how the world goes round.
  D                              G      Em
I listened patiently as you went on and on
          D              A              D    A7
But I was young, and I’m not so patient now
 
           D                                 G
You feel sure I couldn't manage things without you
      D                              A
I’d probably load the dishwasher all wrong.
    D                                 G         Em
If you weren’t here to tell me how to do things right
           D              A         D    D7
Lord only knows how I’d ever get along
 
 
Chorus:
 
  G
I won’t tell you no lies.
    D
The moon ain’t really blue.
A
I taught you all about the things
    D                        D7
You never learned in school.
        G
But I’d like to take you home.
    D
And put this all to bed.
A                              D
Don’t worry your pretty little head
 
 
Verse 2:
 
     D                                  G
Whenever you're on the road you feel uneasy
    D                                  A
Whenever I go to work you fret and you stew
      D                             G          Em
If I had a nickel for each time you checked my phone
           D              A                   D    A7
I’d be so doggone rich, I don’t know what I’d do
 
         D                         G
You feel certain that I’m gonna be unfaithful
        D                               A
You get all worked up, you sulk and you shout
       D                                  G           Em
Do you really think I’ve got the time for things like that?
            D                      A         D    D7
‘Tween two jobs, and sorting your nonsense out?
 
 
Chorus:
 
 
  G
I won’t tell you no lies.
    D
The moon ain’t really blue.
A
I taught you all about the things
    D                        D7
You never learned in school.
        G
But I’d like to take you home.
    D
And put this all to bed.
A                              D
Don’t worry your pretty little head
 
 
Verse 3:
 
    D                                  G
Whenever I let you down, you get real ornery
        D                                  A
It’s my own damn fault each time you do me wrong.
      D                      G        Em
It sets you off every time I speak my mind
             D      A                  D    A7
You start to drink, acting all big and strong
 
                D                                G
I thought with time you’d come to treat me better
        D                               A
Hoped you'd sort it out on your own
           D                             G  Em
The better angels of your nature must have passed you by
           D              A                 D    D7
All that’s left to do is reap what you have sown
 
 
Chorus:
 
  G
I won’t tell you no lies.
    D
The moon ain’t really blue.
A
I taught you all about the things
    D                        D7
You never learned in school.
        G
But I’d like to take you home.
    D
And put this all to bed.
A                              D#dim
Don’t worry your pretty little head
 
A                              D
Don’t worry your pretty little head
