[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I was just thirty-four years years [Am]old
and I was still [G]wandering in a haze
[F]I was wondering why everyone I met
seemed like they [D]were lost in a maze
[Am]I don't know why I thought I should have
some kind of [G]divine right to the blues
It's [F]sympathy not tears people need
when they're the front [D]page, sad news
The [A]incense burned

[Verse 2]
away
[D]and the stench began to rise
And [A]lovers now estranged avoided
[D]catching each others' eyes
And [E]girls who lost

[Verse 3]
their [B]children
cursed the [E]men who fit [B]the coil
And [E]men not fit for mar[B]riage
took their [E]refuge in the [B]oil
No [F#]one respects [C#]the flame quite like
the [F#]fool who's badly [C#]burned
From [F#]all this you'd imag[C#]ine that there
[B]must be something [F#]learned
[B]

[Verse 4]
[F#]
[B]Slit skirts
Jeanie never wears those [E]slit skirts
I don't ever wear no [G#m]ripped shirts
Can't pretend that growing
older [B]never [A]hurts

[Verse 5]
[B]Knee pants
Jeanie never wears no [E]knee pants
Have to be so drunk to try a [G#m]new dance
So afraid of every new [A]romance

[Verse 6]
[C#]Slit skirts, slit skirt
Jeanie isn't wearing those [A#m]slit skirts,
slit skirt
She wouldn't dare in those [F#]slit skirts,
slit skirt
Wouldn't be seen dead in no [A]slit skirt

[Verse 7]
Ro[C#]mance, romance
Why aren't we thinking up [A#m]romance?
Why can't we drink it up
[F#]true heart romance
Just need a brief new [B]romance[A]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Let me tell you some more about myself,
you know I'm [G]sitting at home just now
[F]The big events of the day are passed and the
late TV [D]shows have come around
[Am]I'm number one in the home
team but [G]I still feel unfulfilled
A si[F]lent voice in her broken heart
complaining that [D]I'm unskilled

[Verse 9]
And I [A]know that when she thinks of me,
[D]she thinks of me as "him"
But, [A]unlike me, she don't work off
her frustra[D]tion in the gym

[Verse 10]
Re[E]criminations [B]fester and the
[E]past can never [B]change
A wo[E]man's expecta[B]tions run
from [E]both ends of [B]the range
[F#]Once she woke with [C#]untamed lovers'
[F#]face between her leg[C#]s
[F#]Now he's cooled and [C#]stifled and it's
[B]she who [F#]has to beg
[B][F#]

[Verse 11]
[B]Slit skirts
Jeanie never wears those [E]slit skirts
And I don't ever wear no [G#m]ripped shirts
Can't pretend that growing
older [B]never [A]hurts

[Verse 12]
[B]Knee pants
Jeanie never wears no [E]knee pants
We have to be so drunk to try a [G#m]new dance
So afraid of every new ro[A]mance

[Verse 13]
[C#]Slit skirts, slit skirt
Jeanie isn't wearing those [Bbm]slit skirts,
slit skirt
She wouldn't dare in those [F#]slit skirts,
slit skirt
Wouldn't be seen dead in no [B]slit [A]skirt

[Verse 14]
[C#]Slit skirts, slit skirt
Jeanie isn't wearing those [Bbm]slit skirts,
slit skirt
She wouldn't dare in those [C#]slit [F#]skirts,
slit skirt
Wouldn't be seen dead
in no slit [A]skirt[B][A]

[Verse 15]
Ro[C#]mance, romance
Why aren't we thinking up [Bbm]ro mance?
Why can't we drink it
up true [F#]heart romance
Just need a brief [A]new[C#]
[C#]roma[Bbm]nce[Bbm][F#][F#]
