she looks in the mirror and stares at the
G
wrinkles that weren’t there yesterday
A D
and thinks of the young man that she almost married
G D Em F#7
what would he think if he saw her this way

D
she picks up her apron in little girl – fashion
G
as something comes into her mind
A D
slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
G D Em A7
and all of the boys she had waiting in line

D Em D Em
oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
D Em D A
you see everywhere any time of the day
G D
an everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me

D
the photograph album she takes
G
from the closet and slowly turns the page
A D
and carefully picks up the crumbling flower
G D Em F#7
the first one he gave her now withered with age

D
she closes her eyes and touches the
G
house dress that suddenly disappears
A
and just for the moment she’s wearing the gown
G D Em A7
that broke all their minds back so many years

D Em D Em
oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
D Em D A
you see everywhere any time of the day
G D
an everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
