my husband left me last night

and now I'm just down for the rest of my time
D MajorD
Oh he, Oh me, Oh My

I speak because I can

I swear it was not my choice

I Used to be so kind
Never rode my bike down to the sea
never finished that letter I was writing
never got up and said anything
worthy, for he, oh my

Graceful sleeper

Midnight dreamer

At the breaking of the morning you'll be dancing on my soft lawn
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
when you're shaking out the anger that stops you from taking my calls
A augmentedA G+G
D MajorD
when you're running up the highway singing I'm the king, the king of you all
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
and you look back to where you started, I'll be there waving you on
never rode my bike down to the sea
never quite figured out what I believe
never got up and said anything
worthy, for he, oh my.
