Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
G G
[Verse 1]
G C
You're asleep on the couch with Tammy
D G
And she looks straight up at me
C
The reproach in her eyes is imagined
D G
But the pain that I feel is real
Em D
She jumps down and her tail is swishing
C Am D
Like a feather right under your nose
Em C D G
And then you wake up and you're bleary-eyed
D/F# C D G
I say "I'm sorry", I can see you cried
[Verse 2]
G C
You look frail as you stand before me
D G
Then you curse and kick a chair
C
And the dog, bless her heart, licks my fingers
D G
But she jerks every time you swear
Em D
I feel sick and my hands arе shakin'
C Am D
This is how all our fights have begun
Em C D G
You say you've had it, and you say "Scrеw you!"
D/F# C D G
I say "I love you", and I know it's true
[Chorus]
C G
You're not the man you should have been
D G
I let you down somehow (Not the one I could've been)
C G
I'm not the woman I could have been (I can be that woman)
D G
But I can be that woman now
[Verse 3]
G C
You're confused when you turn to face me
D G
Is it true or is she drunk?
C
But it's clear that I've hit my rock bottom
D G
I'm aware of how far I've sunk
Em D
And the dog is the first to feel it
C Am G
There's a shimmer of hope in your eyes
Em D C G
You can't believe it, but you're close to tears
D/F# C D G
Oh but I'm sorry for the wasted years
[Chorus]
C G
(Not the one I could've been) You're not the man you should have been
D G
(I let you down) I let you down somehow
C G
(Not the one I could've been) I'm not the woman I could have been
D G
(I can be that woman) But I can be that woman now
You're asleep on the couch with Tammy
And she looks straight up at me
The reproach in her eyes is imagined
But the pain that I feel is real
She jumps down and her tail is swishing
Like a feather right under your nose
And then you wake up and you're bleary-eyed
I say I'm sorry, I can see you've cried
You look frail as you stand before me
Then you curse and kick a chair
And the dog, bless her heart, licks my fingers
But she jerks every time you swear
I feel sick and my hands are shaking
This is how all our fights have begun
You say you've had it
And you say, "Screw you!"
I say, "I love you!"
And I know it's true
You're not the man you should have been
I let you down somehow (Not the one I could have been)
I'm not the woman I could have been (I can be that woman)
But I can be that woman now
You're confused when you turn to face me
Is it true or is she drunk?
But it's clear that I've hit my rock bottom
I'm aware of how far I've sunk
And the dog is the first to feel it
There's a shimmer of hope in your eyes
You can't believe it
But you're close to tears
Oh God! I'm sorry for the wasted years
(Not the one I could have been)
You're not the man you should have been (I let you down)
I let you down somehow (Not the one I could have been)
I'm not the woman I could have been (I can be that woman)
But I can be that woman now
