[Intro] Em D Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 C A [Verse 1]
A        D
 She's a great little housewife

A                     Bm7
 Though sometimes she talks like a fool

Am7      D7           G                    F#m7
 But she helps at the store in the holiday rush

        B7           Em7
And she picks up the kids after school

A7       D7            G                            G#m7
 And she puts down the phone when her husband comes home

        C#7          F#m7
And she changes from mother to wife

B7                        Em7
 'Til she feels the words hanging between them

G/A                  Dsus         D
And she hangs by her words to her life
[Chorus]
        Bm7                        F#m7
She says I swear I love my husband, I love my kids

  Bm7                  F#m7
I wanted to be like my mother

         Gmaj7             F#7
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did

         Bm7                        Am7
Oh there might have been time to be me

D7    Gmaj7       F#m7
For myself, for myself

        Em        D              Cmaj7
There's so many things that she wishes

    Em           D              Cmaj7
She don't even know what she's missin'

    B7                            Em
And that's how she knows that she missed
[Interlude] Em D/E G/A A [Verse 2]
A        D                             A
 She's a sweetheart, except when she's moody

                 Bm7
It's hard to get through to her then

Am7  D7            G                           F#m7
   Depressed for a while when the youngest was born

       B7           Em7
Oh but that happens now and again

A7   D7           G               G#m7
 She might take a drink with the housework

        C#7            F#m7
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop

B7            Em7
 A Martini or two before dinner

G/A            Dsus          D
But she always knows when to stop
[Chorus]
         Bm7                   F#m7
She says, God I love my husband and I love my kids

           Bm7                  F#m7
You know I wanted to be like my mother

         Gmaj7             F#7
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did

         Bm7                        Am7
Oh there might have been time to be me

      Gmaj7       F#m7
For myself, for myself

        Em                       Cmaj7
There's so many things that she wishes

     Em         D               Cmaj7
She don't even know what she's missin'

    B7                            Em
And that's how she knows that she missed
[Interlude] Em D/E G/A A [Verse 3]
A         D                         A
 Oh they used to hold hands at the movies

                   Bm7
Now it's seldom if ever they go

Am7          D7               G                   F#m7
 Once you've paid for the sitter and parkin' the car

        B7        Em7
There's no money left for the show

A7       D            G
 She was doing the dishes

       G#m            C#           F#m7
When a glass fell and broke on the tile

B7                   Em7
 And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake)

G/A                    Dsus     D
 It was real touch and go for a while
[Chorus]
            Bm7                     F#m7
She says . . . God I love my husband and I love my kids

               Bm                F#m7
You know I wanted to be like my, my mother

         G                   F#7
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did

         Bm7                        Am7
Oh there might have been time to be me

      Gmaj7       F#m7
For myself, for myself

        Em        D              Cmaj7
There's so many things that she wishes

     Em          D              Cmaj7
She don't even know what she's missin'

    Bsus4               B7              Em7
And that's how she knows that she missed
[Outro] Em D/E C Bm Em
