[Intro] | 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          D
There's a shimmer of hope in your eyes

             Em      C             D        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
