[E] [A] [E] It's not my fault.
[A] I like the [E] floor.
In a white suburban bedroom, in a [B] white suburban town.
As [E] she lay there, beneath the covers, dreaming [A]
of a thousand [E] lovers.
Till [B] the world turned to orange and the room went [E] spinning round.
At [A] the age of thirty-seven, [E] she realized she'd never ride through Paris.
In a sports car with the warm wind in [B] her hair.
[E] So she let the phone keep ringing.
And [A] she sat there, [E] softly singing.
Little [B]
notes arrived, she'd memorized, [A] and her daddy's in his [E] chair.
Her husband, he's off to work, [A] and the kids are off to [E]
school.
And now, oh, so many wives, [B] are there to spend the day.
[E] She'd clean the house, for hours, [A] or re-arrange [E] a flower.
[B] Or a name, through the shady street.
Screaming all the [E]
way, [A] at the age of thirty-seven.
[E] She realized she'd never ride through Paris.
In a sports car with the warm wind in [B] her hair.
[E] So she let the phone keep ringing.
[A] And she sat there, [E] softly singing.
[B] Little notes arrived, she'd memorized, [A] and her daddy's in [E] his chair.
Evening sun touched gently on [A] the eyes of Lucy [E]
Jordan.
On the rooftop, where she climbed, when all the laughter grew [B] too loud.
[E] Then she bowed, cursed to the man, [A] who reached and often [E] heard his path.
[B] He led her down, to the long white car, that waited [A] [E] past the cross.
[A] At the age of thirty-seven, [E] she knew she'd found forever.
As she rode along, through Paris, with the warm wind [B] in her hair.
