| G | G |



♫ Verse 1:
     G           C
You're asleep on the couch with Tammy
     D           G
And she looks straight up at me
               C
The reproach in her eyes is imagined
     D            G
But the pain that I feel is real
      Em          D
She jumps down and her tail is swishing
    C      Am      D
Like a feather right under your nose
       Em  C       D  G
And then you wake up and you're bleary-eyed
D/F#    C       D    G
I say "I'm sorry"
I can see you cried

♫ Verse 2:
      G            C
You look frail as you stand before me
     D         G
Then you curse and kick a chair
                    C
And the dog, bless her heart, licks my fingers
     D           G
But she jerks every time you swear
    Em           D
I feel sick and my hands arе shakin'
     C      Am     D
This is how all our fights have begun
        Em  C     D        G
You say you've had it, and you say "Scrеw you!"
D/F#   C         D     G
I say "I love you", and I know it's true


♫ Chorus:
C             G
 You're not the man you should have been
D          G
 I let you down somehow (Not the one I could've been)
C           G
 I'm not the woman I could have been (I can be that woman)
D             G
 But I can be that woman now


♫ Verse 3:
      G              C
You're confused when you turn to face me
    D       G
Is it true or is she drunk?
                   C
But it's clear that I've hit my rock bottom
   D          G
I'm aware of how far I've sunk
     Em         D
And the dog is the first to feel it
      C     Am     G
There's a shimmer of hope in your eyes
       Em   D       C    G
You can't believe it, but you're close to tears
D/F#    C       D    G
Oh but I'm sorry for the wasted years


♫ Chorus:
               C             G
(Not the one I could've been) You're not the man you should have been
        D          G
(I let you down) I let you down somehow
               C           G
(Not the one I could've been) I'm not the woman I could have been
           D             G
(I can be that woman) But I can be that woman now
