It Couldnt Be Me


Intro: G Am B7 C G G We’re driving through the canyons Singing songs from the sixties Am The telephone rang, she said, “Babe, do you miss me?” D7 G And ain’t it a shame not to love the one you’re with G Well she spoke with the prettiest mouth And she scorned me Am She sharpened her teeth And flashed them to warn me D7 G Said, "ain’t it a shame when you hate the one you loved" Em And it couldn’t be me Am It couldn’t be me B7 No, the man in your dreams C G He don’t look a thing like me G See I dated a rich girl With a mother of pearl Am Who paid rent in her high rise The weight of the world D7 G And ain’t it a shame when you’re exchangin’ all your brand new gifts G And after a night on the floor, She put the chain on her door Am I wore out my welcome I guess she got bored D7 G 'Cause she laid eyes on my brother and laid him across my bed Em And it couldn’t be me Am It couldn’t be me B7 No, the man in your dreams C G He don’t look a thing like me G Am B7 C G G Well it sounds like rain And here that’s a rare thing Am Out here in the desert, We're stealing our water D7 G From a hole in a mountain that flows to the affordable homes G And from my faucet it drips So we'll clean up the messes Am The others have left us Well I think they blessed us D7 G There’s a chain on my door but I’m in love with the one I’m with Em And it couldn’t be me Am It couldn’t be me B7 No, the man in your dreams C G He don’t look a thing like me Em And it couldn’t be me Am No, it couldn’t be me B7 No, the man in your dreams C G He don’t look a thing like me
