Intro: Em/D-C-Em/D-C Em-D-C-D pause
D/Db She's a great little housewife BmD Though sometimes she talks like a fool GGbm But she helps at the store in the holiday rush BEmA And she picks up the kids after school D/AmGAb/G And she puts down the phone when her husband comes home GbmB And she changes from mother to wife EmA 'Til she feels the words hanging between them D And she hangs by her words to her life
Db/DBmGbm She says I swear I love my husband, I love my kids BmGbmDbm/Gbm I wanted to be like my mother GA But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did BmAm Oh there might have been time to be me Dm/AmGGbm For myself, for myself EmDC There's so many things that she wishes EmDC She don't even know what she's missin' DEm-D-C-D And that's how she knows that she missed
D/Db She's a sweetheart, except when she's moody BmD It's hard to get through to her then GGbm Depressed for a while when the youngest was born BEmA Oh but that happens now and again D/AmGAb/G She might take a drink with the housework GbmB Or when Michael's kept late at the shop EmA A Martini or two before dinner D But she always knows when to stop
Db/DBmGbm She says I swear I love my husband and I love my kids BmGbmDbm/Gbm You know I wanted to be like my mother GA But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did BmAm Oh there might have been time to be me Dm/AmGGbm For myself, for myself EmDC There's so many things that she wishes EmDC She don't even know what she's missin' DEm-D-C-D And that's how she knows that she missed
D/Db Oh they used to hold hands at the movies BmD Now it's seldom if ever they go GGbm Once you've paid for the sitter and parkin' the car BEmA There's no money left for the show D/AmG She was doing the dishes Ab/GGbmB When a glass fell and broke on the tile EmA And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake) D It was real touch and go for a while
Db/DBmGbm She says Oh God I love my husband and I love my kids BmGbmDbm/Gbm You know I wanted to be like my, my mother GA But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did BmAm Oh there might have been time to be me Dm/AmGGbm For myself, for myself EmDC There's so many things that she wishes EmDC She don't even know what she's missin' DEm-D-C-D-C-D-Em And that's how she knows that she missed
