When Dean Was The Man

C           G            Am          G
you see, I have this picture, all perfect and pretty 
   F                        G
in which all is all that it seems 
       C            G          Am            G
with a white picket fence home away from the city 
   F                 G
to live the American Dream 

         Am         G
and it's you girl, you girl,
F           C
that I see beside me 
Am              G          
it's you girl, you girl 
F                  C
you're still on my mind 

and it's you girl that I see beside me in time 
how I long for the 50's in all of its glory 
when Dean was the man and Monroe always smiled 
I know life ain't a movie, no dime novel story 
but I go for either the truth or a lie 

and it's you girl that I see beside me 
it's you girl you're still on my mind 
and it's you girl that I see beside me in time 

so many boys are so damn close to perfect 
so many boys so much funner than me 
but I'll try my hardest to make us so happy 
so just like the good Lord meant it to be 

and it's you girl 
that I see beside me 
it's you girl 
I stare myself blind 

and it's you girl  that I see beside me in time 

and it's you girl 
that I see beside me 
it's you girl 
I know my own mind 

and it's you girl all of the time 

all of the time
