Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 We’re driving through the canyons

Singing songs from the sixties

 The telephone rang, she said,

“Babe, do you miss me?”

 And ain’t it a shame not to love the one you’re with

 Well she spoke with the prettiest mouth

And she scorned me

 She sharpened her teeth

And flashed them to warn me

 Said, "ain’t it a shame when you hate the one you loved"

 And it couldn’t be me

 It couldn’t be me

 No, the man in your dreams

 He don’t look a thing like me

 See I dated a rich girl

With a mother of pearl

 Who paid rent in her high rise

The weight of the world

 And ain’t it a shame when you’re exchangin’ all your brand new gifts

 And after a night on the floor,

She put the chain on her door

 I wore out my welcome

I guess she got bored

 'Cause she laid eyes on my brother and laid him across my bed

 And it couldn’t be me

 It couldn’t be me

 No, the man in your dreams

 He don’t look a thing like me

 Well it sounds like rain

And here that’s a rare thing

 Out here in the desert,

We're stealing our water

 From a hole in a mountain that flows to the affordable homes

 And from my faucet it drips

So we'll clean up the messes

 The others have left us

Well I think they blessed us

 There’s a chain on my door but I’m in love with the one I’m with

 And it couldn’t be me

 It couldn’t be me

 No, the man in your dreams

 He don’t look a thing like me

 And it couldn’t be me

 No, it couldn’t be me

 No, the man in your dreams

 He don’t look a thing like me
