• Capo on 4th

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

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

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

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

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

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