verse :

F/C C
she opens every door
F/C C
never calls you by your name
F/C C
and when you say it’s time to go
G * G *
she looks at you like you?re insane

F/C C
but when she hears you play
F/C C
she tries to sing along
F/C C
she gets up and dances on the chair
G * G *
makes you laugh when she sings

chorus :
Am F/C C G *
you say i don’t turn you on
Am F/C C G *
until it’s time for me to go

and so on . . .

she only cries at night
when the children are gone
she gets up to wipe away her eyes
in the blue light of the dawn

laying on your chest
she’s like a tiny cat
brought up and broken on the street
you know shes the only one that even knows where you’re at

you say i don’t turn you on
until it’s time for me to go

she says crawl over here
i got something else to say
poring whiskey in your coffee cup
she says i swore you liked it that way

she tells you how to stay alive
acting like she’s cleaning up your place
you can see every single star in the sky
written on the expression of her lonely face

you say i don’t turn you on
until it’s time for me to go
