The boy was almost 48 years old
         C minorCm           FF              Bb majorBb
All he'd ever gone to bed with was a cold
    A minorAm                           G minorGm
And he said to his momma   momma I'm afraid it's true
     C minorCm                           FF
Only woman that could love me  is you

The girl could almost drink her age in beer
       C minorCm     FF              Bb majorBb
Couple cases  give or take a year
A minorAm                               G minorGm
She worked at the hospital   hey lots of people do
       C minorCm                                 FF
That's where they fell in love   oh God I wish that was true

But they never met   not even briefly
                A minorAm                               G minorGm
I know what you thought    you thought that they might
                 Eb MajorEb                        Bb majorBb
Now what was the problem   the problem was chiefly
               C minorCm               FF          Bb majorBb
She worked the day shift and he worked the night


bridge:
           Eb MajorEb                Bb majorBb
They never met    not even informally
           A minorAm                                G minorGm
I know you thought things like this work out right
                   Eb MajorEb               Bb majorBb
No no   they never met   not even abnormally
               C minorCm               FF          Bb majorBb
She worked the day shift and he worked the night


verse:
    C minorCm             FF       Bb majorBb
