Tom: Em
C G D C G D
[Verse 1]
C G
It was somethin' as simple
D
As makin' the bed
C G
That kicked off the voice
C G
Inside her head
G
She was smoothin' the sheet
G
With the palm of her hand
D
When the thought struck home
Em F C C
"I don't know who I am"
[Verse 2]
C G
And she sat cross-legged
D
On the bedroom floor
And thought
C G
"There's 3 people in this house
F C
That don't need me anymore."
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
And she cried like a baby
D
In a pile of dirty clothes
[Chorus]
Em B
Oh, should I be more care free
G F#m
Should I be more sexy
C Em B
Should I be more friend, than mom
Em B
And the dryer was buzzin'
G F#m
And the TV was blarin'
Am/C G
And she wanted to call, her mother
[Verse 2]
C G
It was somethin' as simple
D C G
As checkin' in to that cheap motel
F C
Out on Highway 10
Em D
Was it the sting of leavin'
C G
Or usin' her maiden name
Am Em
That took all of the fun
Am F
Out of runnin' away
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
And she cried like a baby
G D
In the tub of room 5
[Chorus]
Em B
Oh, should I be more care free
Em G F#m
Should I be more sexy
C Em B
Should I be more friend, than mom
Em B
And her head was buzzin'
Em G F#m
And the TV was blarin'
Am C G
And she wanted to call, her husband
[Instrumental]
C G C G D
C G D G
[Verse 3]
C G
It was somethin' as simple
D C G
As pickin' up the kids That brought her back
F
to Earth a - gain
Em D
She'd been to the dark side of the moon
C G
She had to keep it to herself
Am Em
So she grabbed Kentucky Fried Chicken
F C G D
For supper
[Chorus]
D Em B
Ah, but she looked more care free
G F#m
And she looked more sexy
Am C B
And she looked more friend, than mom
G Em B
And the table talk was buzzin'
Em F#m
And the TV, it was blarin'
C D
And they all sat and laughed at each other
[Outro]
C G
It was somethin' as simple
D
As not givin' up
G D G
And eight crazy hours
D C G
In the story of love
