[A] [Dm] [N]
[F] [C]
[G]
She had a worn egg and grew in the vinyl floor
[C] Cause the path she walked went back and [G] forth
From the gas stove to the kitchen sink
Lots [C] of miles and meals, lots of time [G] to think
[F] She could have been an actress or [C] a singer on stage
She [F] could have written poetry [D] but she never wrote a page
She [Em] [C] just acted like she [G] loved a man
[C] And she [D] sang it along with [G] his song and dance
And [C] her life has been [G] sad poetry
So [Am] she's leaving him
[D] her diary
[F] And he can read the [C] reasons why [G] she's gone
He was late again with a brand new excuse
He knew [C] just what he'd say when all hell [G] broke loose
He walked in and found her diary
He [C] said, now this'll make a good reading, I'll just let [G] her speak
He

And [D] I've sung it along with [G] his song and dance
