• Capo on 4th

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse:
G+G         D MajorD
I don't mind doing dishes at night
C majorC               D MajorD
Picking up all your mess that you're leaving behind
G+G               D MajorD
Cause you go on the road for a month at a time
      C majorC           D MajorD
You say you can't wait to get back home
G+G              D MajorD
And I don't mind when you're coming home late
    C majorC            D MajorD
Whiskey on your breath, say you made a mistake
     G+G              D MajorD
Kissed a girl on the mouth, it was a three-dollar bet
      C majorC          D MajorD
But you'll always call me your own

Chorus::
C majorC             G+G
How can I be the one that cries for you
      D MajorD
Unless you love me true
C majorC             G+G
How can I be the one that lets it slide
      D MajorD
Unless you take the time
          G+G
To be a good man to me
        D MajorD
Any day of the week
         C majorC             D MajorD
Tell the boys all "No," that you just can't go
  G+G               D MajorD
No, tonight it's just my baby and me
         G+G
Be a good man to me

Verse:
G+G          D MajorD
I understand if it's not in your way
   C majorC         D MajorD
To go doting around on a lady all day
    G+G             D MajorD
But the simplest thing that would make my heart ring
     C majorC          D MajorD
Well, you don't even think to do it
  G+G           D MajorD
So if it's too much to be given enough
      C majorC
To keep the sparkle alive
 D MajorD            G+G
I guess that we tried everything that we could
      D MajorD
To keep our love going good
    C majorC            D MajorD
And I'd like to think I'm better for it

Chorus:
D MajorD          C majorC
And if you did ever really love me
    G+G
Then it wasn't in vain
D MajorD          C majorC
Cause what's a girl without a broken heart
     G+G
And some baggage to claim
     D MajorD
When she climbs on a plane

Outro:
G+G         D MajorD
I don't mind doing dishes at night
    C majorC              D MajorD
Picking up all your mess that you're leaving behind
     G+G          D MajorD
Cause you go on the road for a month at a time
      C majorC         D MajorD
You say you can't wait to get back home
