🎸 Verse 1:
DmDm           Am7Am7
When Tom came home his hair was combed
DmDm              C majorC
He bought snakeskin boots in Rome
DmDm         Am7Am7    DmDm      Am7Am7
That's not like him
DmDm            Am7Am7
His socks are clean, his shirt is pressed
DmDm            C majorC
It isn't just the way he's dressed
FF        C majorC      BB    Am7Am7
He smiles out of context and acts so polite
DmDm              Am7Am7        DmDm      Am7Am7
He's staying at his cousin's overnight

{Chorus}
BB             C majorC
The protein shakes, that's not like him
BB            C majorC
The carrot cakes, that's not like him
BB              C majorC
The oat bran flakes, that's not like him
FF           Am7Am7      C majorC   G/BG/B G+G   FF  DmDm
And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night
DmDm
Oh, that's not like him

DmDm  Am7Am7   DmDm  Am7Am7

{Verse 2}
DmDm         Am7Am7
He whispers on the telephone
DmDm           C majorC
He goes out smelling of cologne
DmDm         Am7Am7       DmDm      Am7Am7
That's not like him
DmDm           Am7Am7
It's just a superficial thing
DmDm           C majorC
But he's misplaced his wedding ring
FF       C majorC      BB Am7Am7
He's become a connoisseur of wine
DmDm           Am7Am7       DmDm      Am7Am7
He's quoting Yeats and Gertrude Stein

{Chorus}
BB          C majorC
The Soho pub, that's not like him
BB            C majorC
The racquet club, that's not like him
BB              C majorC
Those books on love, that's not like him
FF           Am7Am7       C majorC   G/BG/B G+G   FF  DmDm
And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night
DmDm
Oh, that's not like him

DmDm  Am7Am7   DmDm  Am7Am7

{Verse 3}
DmDm          Am7Am7
I caught a glimpse of Tom today
DmDm               C majorC
At a checkout counter, about to pay
     DmDm       Am7Am7
He had a girl on his arm
DmDm               Am7Am7
I'm glad he's helping out the poor
   DmDm           C majorC
It's not like the Tom I knew before
FF      C majorC        BB Am7Am7
Something so touching it made me cry
    DmDm              Am7Am7
But my heart was racing
I don't know why

{Chorus}
   BB              C majorC
Those new blue suede shoes, that's not like him
  BB           C majorC
The Ray Ban shades, that's not like him
   BB           C majorC
Those downtown ways, that's not like him
FF           Am7Am7        C majorC  G/BG/B G+G   FF  DmDm
And the sweet name he called me in his sleep last night
DmDm
Oh, that's not like him

DmDm  Am7Am7   DmDm  Am7Am7

{Outro}
   BB           C majorC
The red suspenders, that's not like him
  BB               C majorC
The berries in the blender, that's not like him
   BB             C majorC
Those twelve step groups, that's not like him
  BB         C majorC
And Guadeloupe, that's not like him
   BB          C majorC
Those books on Zen, that's not like him
  BB           C majorC
The Karate classes, that's not like him
  BB          C majorC
The fishing gear, that's not like him
BB          C majorC
Not like him
That's not like him
