E      A      E   G        E       A    E G
Judy’s in the bed-room, in-venting situ-a-tions.
E      D      E         D    E        A     E  G
Bob is on the street to-day, scouting up lo-ca-tions.
E          G      E         G
They’ve en-listed all their family.
E          G      E         F#  
They’ve en-listed all their friends.
   B            D        B      D
It helped saved their re-lation-ship,
    B       D    E
And made it work again.
