[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 ar? 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 "Scr?w 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
