[Verse 1]
G CYou're asleep on the couch with Tammy
D GAnd she looks straight up at me
CThe reproach in her eyes is imagined
D GBut the pain that I feel is real
Em DShe jumps down and her tail is swishing
C Am DLike a feather right under your nose
Em C D GAnd then you wake up and you're bleary-eyed
D/F# C D GI say "I'm sorry", I can see you cried
[Verse 2]
G CYou look frail as you stand before me
D GThen you curse and kick a chair
CAnd the dog, bless her heart, licks my fingers
D GBut she jerks every time you swear
Em DI feel sick and my hands arе shakin'
C Am DThis is how all our fights have begun
Em C D GYou say you've had it, and you say "Scrеw you!"
D/F# C D GI 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 CYou're confused when you turn to face me
D GIs it true or is she drunk?
CBut it's clear that I've hit my rock bottom
D GI'm aware of how far I've sunk
Em DAnd the dog is the first to feel it
C Am GThere's a shimmer of hope in your eyes
Em D C GYou can't believe it, but you're close to tears
D/F# C D GOh 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
