play intro over lines of the verse
D my husband left me last night D left me a poor and lonely wife D and I cooked the meals, and he lived the life D and now I'm just down for the rest of my time D Oh he, Oh me, Oh My A I speak because I can G D To anyone I trust enough to listen A You speak because you can G D To anyone Who'll hear what you say Gb hmmm-mm G D I swear it was not my choice Gb hmmm-mm G D I Used to be so kind
Never rode my bike down to the sea
never finished that letter I was writing
never got up and said anything
worthy, for he, oh my
G Graceful sleeper D Midnight dreamer G D I'm Floored by your sound G D I'm Floored by your sound Gb hmmm-m G D I swear it was not my choice Gb G D to reach out to someone wise Gb G D I used to be so kind Gb G D I used to be so kind A G D At the breaking of the morning you'll be dancing on my soft lawn A G D when you're shaking out the anger that stops you from taking my calls
A G
D when you're running up the highway singing I'm the king, the king of you all A G D and you look back to where you started, I'll be there waving you on
never rode my bike down to the sea
never quite figured out what I believe
never got up and said anything
worthy, for he, oh my.
