I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

by Eels

Biography:

Eels is an American alternative/acoustic indie rock band formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as "Mr. E" or simply E. Other members rotate frequently, both in the studio and on stage. Eels were officially founded in 1995 when Jonathan 'Butch' Norton and E met Tommy Walter. The name "Eels" was chosen so that the band's records would be close to E's solo records in an alphabetical ordering. In 1996 the band released their debut album Beautiful Freak.

[Intro]
C G F F x6

[Verse]
C G F F
It was only last June when her old man ran away
C G F F
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone to stay
C G F
Ten thirty five on a lonely Friday night
C G F F
She was standin' by the bar, woo! she was lookin' alright
C G F
I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said that all she wanted
C G F F
was a good man and wanted to know if I thought I was qualified

[Chorus]
C G F F
And I said baby don't waste your time
C G F F
I know what's on your mind
F Fm Em D
I may be qualified for a one night stand
Fm G N.C.
But I could never take the place of your man

[Instrumental]
C G F x2

[Verse]
C G F F
It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes
C G F F
He was all she ever had and now she wanted to die
C G F F
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
C G F F
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone to stay
C G
She ask me if we could be friends and I said
F
Oh honey, baby that's a dead end, you know
C G F F
I know that you wouldn't be satisfied

[Chorus]
C G F F
And I said baby don't waste your time
C G F F
I know what's on your mind
F Fm Em D
you wouldn't be satisfied, with a one night stand
Fm G N.C
and I could never take the place of your man
C G F F
the place of your man
