C                      G      Am
I married Charlie when I was sixteen

 F                             G      C
But I didn't love him and he didn't love me

 C                       G  Am
Frank was sweet, sent me poetry

 F                            G      C
But it wasn't the same as it was on TV
[Interlude] C G Am F G C x2 [Verse 2]
C                        G    Am
A lonely widow with no place to go

  F                            G      C
For a time I settled on the Florida coast

 C                     G     Am
Rick and Arlie, they had to go

    F                     G        C
To join the rest of my family's ghosts
[Interlude] C G Am F G C x2 [Chorus]
    Am  G   C
And oh, oh, oh

   F               G      C
I haven't been a perfect wife

       Am G   F
I'm a lonely heart

    F              G                C
Looking for the real romance of my life
[Interlude] C G Am F G C x2 [Verse 3]
    C                               G    Am
Now Sam was a hard man with a real mean streak

        F                 G       C
Said women don't need romance magazines

 C                        G    Am
But I showed him with his last coffee

     F                              G       C
And now they can do anything they like with me
[Chorus]
    Am  G   C
And oh, oh, oh

I haven't been a perfect wife

       Am G   F
I'm a lonely heart

Looking for the real romance of my life
[Bridge]
         Dm          Am
Take it easy, don't worry

         G
I'll be fine in here

      Dm                Am
I'm sure I'll find my perfect mate yet

           G
And my conscience is clear
[Interlude] C G Am F G C x2 [Verse 4]
       C                               G    Am
Didn't do it for the money, in truth I was bored

   F                 G   C
Nobody writes to me anymore

    C             G    Am
Cigarettes and prison walls

    F                        G       C
Will keep me company till I meet the Lord
And Lord knows that [Chorus]
    Am  G   C
And oh, oh, oh

   F               G      C
I haven't been a perfect wife

       Am G   F
I'm a lonely heart

    F              G                C
Looking for the real romance of my life

And oh, oh, oh
