C
Hung my head when I heard the sound
G
I drove straight back to the burial ground
C G
I saw you there, you were singing out loud
C
Was the same old song that you used to sing
G
When you made your bed right next to me
C G
And I loved you then, I still do now
C
Was a gray-blue grave and a short red dress
G
I knew you well, it suits you best
C G
Where have you been for the past five years?
C
The last I heard is you took some time
G
You drove straight down the 405
Em C G
And we both know why you left me here
Em C G
But oh, how things have changed
Em C G
Now I act my age
Em C G
And you are older, too
Em C G
So why not see this through?
Em C
'Cause you're fast asleep and you choose to be
G Em
Head in the water, you won't find another like me
C
And every morning when you call his name
G
You'll think about another, think about another
Em C G
Just say, just say ---[Could be "Just say, just sayYY yeah"]
Em C G
Just say, just say
C G
C G
C
And I had you come for a midnight drink
G
And you left your things by the kitchen sink
Em G
Your pocketbook, can't you stay?
C
And quit your job that you hate so much
G
We'll both get by, we'll both make love
Em G
But you're here tonight, anyway ---[I think it is actually "And" instead of "But," but I think the latter
sounds better]
Em C G
But oh, how things have changed
Em C G
Now I act my age
Em C G
And you are older, too
Em C G
So why not see this through?
Em C
'Cause you're fast asleep and you choose to be
G Em
Got your head in the water cause you won't find another like me
C
And every morning when you call his name
G
You'll think about another, (oh you'll) think about another
Em C G
Just say, just say
Em C G
Just say, just say
Em C G

Em C
'Cause you're fast asleep and you choose to be
G Em
head in the water cause you won't find another like me
C
And every morning when you call his name
G
Think about another, think about another
Em C G
Just say, just say
Em C G
Just say, just say
Em C G
Just say, just say
Em C G
Just say, just say
