It Couldnt Be Me

Intro: G Am B7 C G


      G
We’re driving through the canyons

Singing songs from the sixties
     Am
The telephone rang, she said,

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


         G
Well she spoke with the prettiest mouth

And she scorned me
    Am
She sharpened her teeth

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


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


      G
See I dated a rich girl

Continúa después del anuncio
With a mother of pearl
        Am
Who paid rent in her high rise

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


            G
And after a night on the floor,

She put the chain on her door
    Am
I wore out my welcome

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


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


G Am B7 C G


    G
Well it sounds like rain

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

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


            G
And from my faucet it drips

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

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


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