It Couldn't Be Me

[G] [Am] [B7] [C] [G]

We’re [G]driving through the canyons

Singing songs from the sixties
The t[Am]elephone rang, she said,

“Babe, do you miss me?”
And [D7]ain’t it a shame not to love the one you’re [G]with

Well she [G]spoke with the prettiest mouth

And she scorned me
She [Am]sharpened her teeth

And flashed them to warn me
Said[D7], "ain’t it a shame when you hate the one you [G]loved"

And it couldn’t be m[Em]e
It couldn’t be [Am]me
No, the [B7]man in your dreams
He [C]don’t look a thing like[G] me

See I [G]dated a rich girl

With a mother of pearl
Who paid[Am] rent in her high rise

The weight of the world
And [D7]ain’t it a shame when you’re exchangin’ all your brand new [G]gifts

And after a [G]night on the floor,

She put the chain on her door
I wo[Am]re out my welcome

I guess she got bored
'Cause she la[D7]id eyes on my brother and laid him across my[G] bed

And it couldn’t be[Em] me
It couldn’t be [Am]me
No, the[B7] man in your dreams
He d[C]on’t look a thing like [G]me

[G] [Am] [B7] [C] [G]

Well[G] it sounds like rain

And here that’s a rare thing
Out [Am]here in the desert,

We're stealing our water
From a [D7]hole in a mountain that flows to the affordable [G]homes

And from my [G]faucet it drips

So we'll clean up the messes
The[Am] others have left us

Well I think they blessed us
There’s a[D7] chain on my door but I’m in love with the one I’m[G] with

And it couldn’t be [Em]me
It couldn’t be [Am]me
No, the [B7]man in your dreams
He [C]don’t look a thing like [G]me
And it couldn’t be [Em]me
No, it couldn’t be [Am]me
No, the [B7]man in your dreams
He [C]don’t look a thing like [G]me
