D
She wakes up in the morning
To a kettle on the stove
Peeling wallpaper,
House next to a dusty road
G
She prays, "Oh Lord
D
Don't let these walls fall down"
'Cause she's got no money
But she works like hell
She loved him like a lady
Never did her too well
G
She prays, "Oh Lord
D
Don't let these walls fall down"
A G
'Cause it's been so damn hard
D
Since her man left town
A
Says, "I've been thinking
G
I've been thinking
A G
I've been thinking 'bout you, baby
D
For such a long, long time"
And she can't help but wonder
On those rainy Saturdays
Where he is and where he's been
Is another trapped in his haze?
G
She prays, "Oh Lord
D
Don't let these walls fall down"
'Cause she's not lonely
And she's learned to get along
How many years will it take
Before he is really gone?
G
She prays, "Oh Lord
D
Don't let these walls fall down"
A G
'Cause it's been so damn hard
D
Since her man left town
A
Says, "I've been thinking
G
I've been thinking
A G
I've been thinking 'bout you, baby
D
For such a long, long time"
A
Says, "I've been thinking
G
I've been thinking
A G
I've been thinking 'bout you, baby
D
For such a long, long time"
A
Says, "I've been thinking
G
I've been thinking
A G
I've been thinking 'bout you, baby
D
For such a long, long time"
