[Verse 1]
F CYou're asleep on the couch with Tammy
F FAnd she looks straight up at me
CThe reproach in her eyes is imagined
F FBut the pain that I feel is real
Cm FShe jumps down and her tail is swishing
C Cm FLike a feather right under your nose
Cm C F FAnd then you wake up and you're bleary-eyed
F/Gm C F FI say "I'm sorry", I can see you cried
[Verse 2]
F CYou look frail as you stand before me
F FThen you curse and kick a chair
CAnd the dog, bless her heart, licks my fingers
F FBut she jerks every time you swear
Cm FI feel sick and my hands arе shakin'
C Cm FThis is how all our fights have begun
Cm C F FYou say you've had it, and you say "Scrеw you!"
F/Gm C F FI say "I love you", and I know it's true
[Chorus]
C F You're not the man you should have been
F F I let you down somehow (Not the one I could've been)
C F I'm not the woman I could have been (I can be that woman)
F F But I can be that woman now
[Verse 3]
F CYou're confused when you turn to face me
F FIs it true or is she drunk?
CBut it's clear that I've hit my rock bottom
F FI'm aware of how far I've sunk
Cm FAnd the dog is the first to feel it
C Cm FThere's a shimmer of hope in your eyes
Cm F C FYou can't believe it, but you're close to tears
F/Gm C F FOh but I'm sorry for the wasted years
[Chorus]
C F(Not the one I could've been) You're not the man you should have been
F F(I let you down) I let you down somehow
C F(Not the one I could've been) I'm not the woman I could have been
F F(I can be that woman) But I can be that woman now
