Intro: G Am B7 C G
G
We’re driving through the canyons
Singing songs from the sixties
Am
The telephone rang, she said,
“Babe, do you miss me?”
D7 G
And ain’t it a shame not to love the one you’re with
G
Well she spoke with the prettiest mouth
And she scorned me
Am
She sharpened her teeth
And flashed them to warn me
D7 G
Said, "ain’t it a shame when you hate the one you loved"
Em
And it couldn’t be me
Am
It couldn’t be me
B7
No, the man in your dreams
C G
He don’t look a thing like me
G
See I dated a rich girl
With a mother of pearl
Am
Who paid rent in her high rise
The weight of the world
D7 G
And ain’t it a shame when you’re exchangin’ all your brand new gifts
G
And after a night on the floor,
She put the chain on her door
Am
I wore out my welcome
I guess she got bored
D7 G
'Cause she laid eyes on my brother and laid him across my bed
Em
And it couldn’t be me
Am
It couldn’t be me
B7
No, the man in your dreams
C G
He don’t look a thing like me
G Am B7 C G
G
Well it sounds like rain
And here that’s a rare thing
Am
Out here in the desert,
We're stealing our water
D7 G
From a hole in a mountain that flows to the affordable homes
G
And from my faucet it drips
So we'll clean up the messes
Am
The others have left us
Well I think they blessed us
D7 G
There’s a chain on my door but I’m in love with the one I’m with
Em
And it couldn’t be me
Am
It couldn’t be me
B7
No, the man in your dreams

He don’t look a thing like me
