G            D           G 
Today I sat alone at the window 
                                         D 
and I watched our little girl outside at play 
         C                            G 
with the little boy next door like so many times before 
    A                                   D 
but somethin' didn't seem quite right today 
     G               D                  G 
So I went outside to see what they were doin' 
                       B               Em       G 
And then the teardrops made my eyes go dim 
        C                           G 
Cause I heard him name a game and I hung my head in shame 
                        D           G    G7 
when I heard our little girl say to him 
 
 Chorus  
                   C                        G 
I don't wanna play house I know it can't be fun 
             D         C            G          D        G 
I've watched mommy and daddy and if that's the way it's done 
G7                 C                       G 
I don't wanna play house it makes my mommy cry 
           D                                    G 
cause when she played house, my daddy said good-bye

             E         D            A          E        A 
I've watched mommy and daddy and if that's the way it's done 
A7                 D                       A
