D7               D   
She looks in the mirror and stares at the 

              G
Wrinkles that weren't there yesterday

                                 A          D
And thinks of the young man that she almost married

G             D           Em           F#7
What would he think if he saw her this way

    D
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion 

   G
As something comes into her mind

                        A             D
Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood

    G          D            Em         A7
And all of the boys she had waiting in line

   D            Em            D        Em
Oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

    D        Em        D           A
You see everywhere any time of the day

                          G                         D
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me

    D
The photograph album she takes 

                    G
From the closet and slowly turns the page

                           A         D
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower

    G            D            Em            F#7
The first one he gave her now withered with age

    D
She closes her eyes and touches the 

                 G
House dress that suddenly disappears

                              A
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown

     G               D          Em      A7
That broke all their minds back so many years

   D            Em            D        Em
Oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

    D        Em        D           A
You see everywhere any time of the day

                          G                         D
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
