I was just thirty-four years old and I was still
SIbmWandering in a haze
I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were
FA#sus4 FA#Lost in a maze
MIbsus4 MIbI don't know why I thought I should have some kind of
Divine right to the blues
SOL#sus4 SOL#It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the

The incense burned away and the

Catching each others' eyes

From all this you'd imagine that there

Slit skirts, Jeanie isn't wearing those
DOSlit skirts, and I don't ever wear no
Ripped shirts, can't pretend that growing older
LAm7Never hurts.
SIb(add2)Knee-pants, Jeanie never wears those
Knee-pants, have to be so drunk to try a

Slit skirts, slit skirts, Jeanie isn't wearing those

True-heart romance, just need a brief new little

VERSE II
Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I'm sitting at home
just now.
The big events of the day have passed and the late TV shows have come
on.
I'm number one on the home team, but I still feel unfulfilled. A
silent voice
in a broken heart complains that I'm unskilled. And I know that when
she
thinks of me, she thinks of me as him, but unlike me she don't workout
her
frustrations in the gym.
Recriminations fester and the past can never change, a woman's
expectations
run from both ends of the range.
Once she walked with untamed lovers face between her legs,
Now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg...
