G D/F# Em D
You said you couldn't tell the doormat from my face
G D/F# Em Asus4 A
You said if I had brains I would pawn them
Bb F/A Gm D
Could be I've finally gotten up off of my thumbs
Bb F/A Esus4 E A
Could be that you're the one that was on them
[Chorus]
D
'Cause the plants have grown
Dmaj7
The dog came home
D7 G
The bills are all getting paid
Gm F#m Em Asus4 A
Things are much better since you went away
D
And I've changed my looks
Dmaj7
I read new books
D7 G
I've got friends that mean what they say
Gm F#m Em Asus4 A
Things are much better since you went away
[Verse 2]
G D/F# Em D
You said without your help I couldn't tie my shoes
G D/F# Em Asus4 A
You said without a doubt I'd be stranded
Bb F/A Gm D
Could be that you were right and you had to fly the coop
Bb F/A Esus4 E A
Could be the eagle finally has landed
[Chorus]
D
'Cause the plants have grown
Dmaj7
The dog came home
D7 G
The bills are all getting paid
Gm F#m Em Asus4 A
Things are much better since you went away
D
And I've changed my looks
Dmaj7
I read new books
D7 G
I've got friends that mean what they say
Gm F#m Em Asus4 Bbdim7
Things are much better since you went away
[Bridge]
Bm Bm/Bb Bm/A Bm/Ab
When I was younger I was told without another
G F#m Em A Bbdim7
I'd be incomplete and deflated
Bm Bm/Bb Bm/A Bm/Ab
My chosen one has chosen to befriend another
G D/F#
And to my surprise
Em F#m G A
I'm elated!
[Chorus]
D
'Cause the plants have grown
Dmaj7
The dog came home
D7 G
The bills are all getting paid
Gm F#m Em Asus4 A
Things are much better since you went away
D
And I've changed my looks
Dmaj7
I read new books
D7 G
I've got friends that mean what they say
Gm F#m Em Asus4 A
Things are much better since you went away
D
'Cause the plants have grown
Dmaj7
The dog came home
D7 G
The bills are all getting paid
Gm F#m Em Asus4 A
Things are much better since you went away
D
And I've changed my looks
Dmaj7
I read new books
D7 G
I've got friends that mean what they say
Gm F#m Em Asus4 A
Things are much better since you went away
