Honey Im A Big Boy Now

      C               C7
I can see the kitchen light
         F                    F
From the road where I park my bike
         C                C       
But it's dark there as it often is
       G7      G7
 these days
        C             C7
And the gloomy living room
       F                F
Really needs a dust and broom
    C                  G7          C
But I can't brush your memory away

And like a fool I just sat there and
 let her

Chorus 1:
          F                  F
Now I can feed and dress and wash 
myself
    C                 F
And sleep without the light on
C            C       G7    G7
Honey, I'm a big boy now
  C                      C7
I don't know what she does
             F            F
With all the money that I send her
      C                   G7      
She's running 'round the town with
              C
 the young pretender

Verse 3:
I haven't touched the garden
Since the day she walked away
From a love affair that bore only 
bitter fruit
She took everything she wanted
Which is why she left me here
With these pots and pans and my old 
wedding suit

Verse 4:
A letter came one morning
That she would not let me see
And from that day I began to realize
That she would one day break
The home we tried to make
For sinners cannot live in paradise

Chorus 2:
Now I can feed and dress and wash 
myself
And sleep without the light on
Honey, I'm a big boy now
I don't know what she does
With all the money that I send her
She's running 'round the town with 
the young pretender

I don't know what she does

With all the money that I send her
      C                   G7      
She's running 'round the town with
               F       C
