I Can Be That Woman

Capo: 3rd fret Intro G G [Verse 1] G C You're asleep on the couch with Tammy D G And she looks straight up at me C The reproach in her eyes is imagined D G But the pain that I feel is real Em D She jumps down and her tail is swishing C Am D Like a feather right under your nose Em C D G And then you wake up and you're bleary-eyed D/F# C D G I say "I'm sorry", I can see you cried [Verse 2] G C You look frail as you stand before me D G Then you curse and kick a chair C And the dog, bless her heart, licks my fingers D G But she jerks every time you swear Em D I feel sick and my hands arе shakin' C Am D This is how all our fights have begun Em C D G You say you've had it, and you say "Scrеw you!" D/F# C D G I say "I love you", and I know it's true Chorus C G You're not the man you should have been D G I let you down somehow (Not the one I could've been) C G I'm not the woman I could have been (I can be that woman) D G But I can be that woman now [Verse 3] G C You're confused when you turn to face me D G Is it true or is she drunk? C But it's clear that I've hit my rock bottom D G I'm aware of how far I've sunk Em D And the dog is the first to feel it C Am G There's a shimmer of hope in your eyes Em D C G You can't believe it, but you're close to tears D/F# C D G Oh but I'm sorry for the wasted years Chorus C G (Not the one I could've been) You're not the man you should have been D G (I let you down) I let you down somehow C G (Not the one I could've been) I'm not the woman I could have been D G (I can be that woman) But I can be that woman now
