G C G Where were you two years ago when I was locked out there at the barn G C G When some certain Athens sacred monster was doing me in the charm Em G Em G Am We could've been chatting heart to heart on that front porch with a view C G Where were you girl when I needed you G C G Where were you two weeks ago, a week again after your promise G C G I was in your place of employment crying in my hummus Em G Somebody in there said "boy you're looking bad" Em G Am And I said "you know that is nothing new" C G Where were you girl when I needed you Bridge Bm D G Were you in that second story well lighted place Bm D G Up against it's occupant artist in his personal space Am Bm D E Am I know that has been known to happen but I thought all of that was through C G Where were you girl when I needed you
G C G Where were you last Monday when I was overwrought G C I was watching the bright bug lamp flicker G You were doing up the dim dim 40-watt Em G I was alone with Pepe Lopez Em G Am I just couldn't do the schmooze C C G Where were you girl when I needed you G C G Where are you this Sunday morning I'm in shaky health G C G I am in the back yard leaking on the spot where you proclaimed yourself Em G Em G Am You are hungry wanting breakfast and my heart is in a stew C G Where were you girl when I needed you
