He Thinks He'll Keep Her

A   A  F#m   D     A   A  F#m   D 
 
 
A               A     F#m              D 
  She makes his coffee, she makes his bed 
A              A      F#m              D 
  She does the laundry, she keeps him fed 
E              E                Bm               Bm 
  When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace 
E             E          F#m  -   D       E 
  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 
 
A        E                  D               E             A 
  Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design 
          D               D                     E 
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he'll keep her 
A        E            D             E                A 
  Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find 
        E                     D                    E 
God forbid you'd change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her 
A   A  F#m   D 
(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" 
 
(CHORUS) 
 
    E                  E             Bm               Bm 
For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay 
E                   E            F#m - D     E 
  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 
 
A  A F#m  D    A  A F#m  D    A  A F#m  D    A  A F#m  D-E   A
