HE THINKS HE`LL KEEP HER (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
------------------------------------------------
[Actually in A; capo at the 2nd fret]

G G Em C G G Em C
[intro]

G G Em C
She makes his coffee, she makes his bed
G G Em C
She does the laundry, she keeps him fed
D D Am Am
When she was twenty-one she wore her mother`s lace
D D Em - C D
She said forever with a smile upon her face

She does the carpool, she PTA`s
Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
And every christmas card showed a perfect family

G D C D G
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
D C D
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he`ll keep her
G D C D G
Everything is so benign, safest place you`ll ever find
D C D
God forbid you`d change your mind, he thinks he`ll keep her
G G Em C
[instrumental]

She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits
With no expression upon her face
When she was thirty-six she met him at the door
She said, I`m sorry, I don`t love you anymore

Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he`ll keep her
Everything is so benign, safest place you`ll ever find
God forbid you`d change your mind, he thinks he`ll keep her
[4 bars of instrumental]

D D Am Am
For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
D D Em - C D
Now she`s in the typing pool at minimum wage

Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he`ll keep her
Everything is so benign, safest place you`ll ever find
At least until you change your mind, he thinks he`ll keep her
