Intro: G Am B7 C G
G
Were driving through the canyons
Singing songs from the sixties
Am
The telephone rang, she said,
Babe, do you miss me?
D7 G
And aint it a shame not to love the one youre with
G
Well she spoke with the prettiest mouth
And she scorned me
Am
She sharpened her teeth
And flashed them to warn me
D7 G
Said, "aint it a shame when you hate the one you loved"
Em
And it couldnt be me
Am
It couldnt be me
B7
No, the man in your dreams
C G
He dont look a thing like me
G
See I dated a rich girl
With a mother of pearl
Am
Who paid rent in her high rise
The weight of the world
D7 G
And aint it a shame when youre exchangin all your brand new gifts
G
And after a night on the floor,
She put the chain on her door
Am
I wore out my welcome
I guess she got bored
D7 G
'Cause she laid eyes on my brother and laid him across my bed
Em
And it couldnt be me
Am
It couldnt be me
B7
No, the man in your dreams
C G
He dont look a thing like me
G Am B7 C G
G
Well it sounds like rain
And here thats a rare thing
Am
Out here in the desert,
We're stealing our water
D7 G
From a hole in a mountain that flows to the affordable homes
G
And from my faucet it drips
So we'll clean up the messes
Am
The others have left us
Well I think they blessed us
D7 G
Theres a chain on my door but Im in love with the one Im with
Em
And it couldnt be me
Am
It couldnt be me
B7
No, the man in your dreams

He dont look a thing like me
Em
And it couldnt be me
