Tom: G
G D
I don't mind doing dishes at night
C D
Picking up all your mess that you're leaving behind
G D
Cause you go on the road for a month at a time
C D
You say you can't wait to get back home
G D
And I don't mind when you're coming home late
C D
Whiskey on your breath, say you made a mistake
G D
Kissed a girl on the mouth, it was a three-dollar bet
C D
But you'll always call me your own
[Chorus:]
C G
How can I be the one that cries for you
D
Unless you love me true
C G
How can I be the one that lets it slide
D
Unless you take the time
G
To be a good man to me
D
Any day of the week
C D
Tell the boys all "No," that you just can't go
G D
No, tonight it's just my baby and me
G
Be a good man to me
[Verse]
G D
I understand if it's not in your way
C D
To go doting around on a lady all day
G D
But the simplest thing that would make my heart ring
C D
Well, you don't even think to do it
G D
So if it's too much to be given enough
C
To keep the sparkle alive
D G
I guess that we tried everything that we could
D
To keep our love going good
C D
And I'd like to think I'm better for it
[Chorus]
D C
And if you did ever really love me
G
Then it wasn't in vain
D C
Cause what's a girl without a broken heart
G
And some baggage to claim
D
When she climbs on a plane
[Outro]
G D
I don't mind doing dishes at night
C D
Picking up all your mess that you're leaving behind
G D
Cause you go on the road for a month at a time
C D
You say you can't wait to get back home
