[Em/D] [C] [Em/D] [C]
       [Em]-[D]-[C]-[D] pause

She's a [D/C#]great little housewife
Though sometimes she [Bm]talks like a fool[D]
But she helps at the [G]store in the holiday [F#m]rush
[B]And she picks up the [Em]kids after school[A]
[D]An[Am]d she puts down the [G]phone when her husband comes [Ab]hom[G]e
And she changes from [F#m]mother to wife [B]
'Til she feels the words [Em]hanging between them [A]
And she hangs by her [D]words to her life

S[C#]he [D]says[Bm] I swear I love my husband,[F#m] I love my kids
I [Bm]wanted to be like my [F#m]mother  [C#m]      [F#m]
But if I [G]hadn't done it as [A]soon as I did
Oh there [Bm]might have been time to be me [Am]
[Dm]For[Am] myself[G], for myse[F#m]lf
There's [Em]so many things that [D]she [C]wishes
She [Em]don't even know what [D]she's [C]missin'
And [D]that's how she knows that she [Em]mis[D]se[C]d [D]

She's a [D/C#]sweetheart, except when she's moody
It's hard to get [Bm]through to her then[D]
Depressed for a[G] while when the youngest was [F#m]born
Oh but [B]that happens[Em] now and again[A]
She[D] m[Am]ight take a [G]drink with the housework [Ab]    [G]
Or when Michael's kept [F#m]late at the shop[B]
A Martini or [Em]two before dinner [A]
But she always [D]knows when to stop

Sh[C#]e s[D]ays[Bm] I swear I love my husband [F#m]and I love my kids
You know I [Bm]wanted to be like my [F#m]mother  [C#m]      [F#m]
But if I [G]hadn't done it as [A]soon as I did
Oh there [Bm]might have been time to be me [Am]
[Dm]For[Am] myself[G], for myse[F#m]lf
There's [Em]so many things that [D]she [C]wishes
She [Em]don't even know what [D]she's [C]missin'
And [D]that's how she knows that she [Em]mis[D]se[C]d [D]

Oh they [D/C#]used to hold hands at the movies
Now it's seldom if[Bm] ever they go [D]
Once you've paid for the [G]sitter and parkin' th[F#m]e car
There's [B]no money [Em]left for the show [A]
She was [D]do[Am]ing the [G]dishes
When a [Ab]gla[G]ss fell and broke on the[F#m] tile [B]
And she cut her [Em]wrist (quite by mista[A]ke)
It was real touch and [D]go for a while

She [C#]say[D]s [Bm]Oh God I love my husband[F#m] and I love my kids
You know I [Bm]wanted to be like my, my [F#m]mother[C#m]    [F#m]
But if I [G]hadn't done it as [A]soon as I did
Oh there [Bm]might have been time to be [Am]me
[Dm]For[Am] mys[G]elf, for m[F#m]yself
There's [Em]so many things that [D]she [C]wishes
She [Em]don't even know what [D]she's [C]missin'
And [D]that's how she knows that she[Em] mi[D]ss[C]ed[D]  [C]    [D]      [Em]
