Capo 3rd Fret (To Match Recording)
Intro: (D7sus) (D) (C/D) (D) (G/B)
(C) She learned to (G/B) hate the (Am7) limousine
(C) The fancy (Bm7) full-length (A7) fur
(C) Dom Perig(D)non (G) and (D/F#) French cui(Em)sine (D)
(C) Don?t mean a (A7) thing to (D) her (G/B) (C)
What good (D)is her (G) pedes(D/F#)tal (Em)
(D) When he (Cmaj7) works all though the (D) night
So in (C) time, she (Bm7) found a (Am7) dance floor
And some (D) arms to hold her (G) tight
(N.C.) Now every night they (Gmaj7) dance with her
To some brushes on a drum (G) (D/F#) (Em)
A (D7) standup bass, and steel guitars, play a tune, she can (Gmaj7) hum (G6)
Ain?t it (G) sad, ain?t it (G7) funny, how a (C) man can be (G/B) so (Am7) wrong
He (G/B) tried to (C) buy her (Bm7) love with (Am7) money
He could?ve (Dsus) had her (D) for a (G) song
She wanted him...but what a shame
He didn?t realize
Love can never stay the same
It either grows or dies
What made him think his duty was to place her high above
He married her for beauty, she married him for love
Repeat Chorus
