_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ I was just 34 years old and I was still [Ab] wandering in a haze
_ I [Gb] was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were [Eb] lost in a maze
_ I _ [Bbm] don't know why I thought I should have some kind of [Ab] divine ride to the _ blues
_ It's sympathy, not tears people need when they're [Eb] the front _ page sad news _
[Bb] The incense burned away _ _ [Eb] and the stench began to rise
_ [Bb] _
Lovers now _ _ estranged [Eb] avoided catching each other's eyes _ _
[F] _ Girls who lost their [C] children cursed the men who fit the coil
_ And men not fit for [G] marriage took [C] their refuge in the oil
[G] No one respects the [D] flame quite [G] like the fool who's badly burned
[G] From all this beauty [D] making there [C] must be something learned
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
Slit skirt, _ JD never wears those slit skirts
I don't ever wear [Am] no lip shirts
_ Can't pretend that I went [C] on a love _ [Bb] affair _ _ _
Lip lips, JD never wears those lip lips
_ There'll be some drunk to [Am] try a new dress
So afraid of ever [Bb] entering _ _ romance _ _ _
[D] Slit skirt, slit skirt, JD isn't wearing those
[Bm] Slit skirt, slit skirt, she wouldn't wear [G] them those
Slit skirt, slit skirt, wouldn't be fitting [Cm] those [Bb] Slit skirt
_ _ _ [D] _
_ Romance, romance, why are we thinking of [Bm] _ romance?
_ Why can't we drink it [G] up to our promise?
[D] Got me to brief [C] you, romance _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Let me [Bbm] tell you some more about myself
[Ab] You know I'm sitting at home just now _ _
[Gb] _ The big events of the day are past
And the late [Eb] TV shows have come around _ _
_ [Bbm] _ I'm number one on the home team
But I [Ab] still feel _ unfulfilled _
_ [Gb] A silent voice and a broken heart
Complaining that [Eb] I'm unskilled _
And _ [Bb] I know that when she thinks of me
_ [Eb] She thinks of me as him
But [Bb] _ _ she don't work off her _ [Eb] frustration in the gym _
_ _ _ [F] _ Recrimination's [C] faster
And the past can never change
A woman's _ expectations run from both ends of the [G] range
[G] When she walked [D] with untamed leather face between her [D] legs
[G] Now his food is not [B] food
But [D] it's she who has the bag _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Slit skirts, JD never wears those
Slit skirts, and I don't ever wear [Am] no ripped shirts
Can't pretend that growing [G] older never hurts _ _ _ _ _
[C] Deep pants, JD never wears my deep pants
We have to be so drunk to [Am] try a new dance
So afraid of being _ _ [F] _ _ nice _ _
[D] Slit skirts, JD isn't wearing [Bm] those
Slit skirts, _ she wouldn't wear [G] those
Slit skirts, _ [D] you're missing any [Cm] nose
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Slit skirts, JD isn't wearing [Bm] those
Slit skirts, _ JD wouldn't wear [G] those
Slit skirts, _ _ you're missing any [C] nose Slit skirts _ _ _ _
[D] _ Romance, romance
Why are we drinking [Bm] our promises?
_ Why can't we drink it up true?
[G] _ Heartfulness, [D] just need a breather
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
