[Intro]
D7M      D/Gb          Em7
     Yeah,   yeah, yeah
             G
Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be


[Verse 1]
            D7M
I heard that men, men never choose
                  D/Gb
The one that they really love is the one that they lose
            Em7                          G
She ends up being the one they daydream about
     A        D7M                   D/Gb
In a suburban house with a woman he settled for
                          Em7
She was better for him, I guess
                  G               A
God bless, but it couldn't be me, yeah


[Chorus]
D7M                          D/Gb
She's got her face beat, and she's always home
    Em7                     G            A
And she put to sleep every dream of her own (Yeah)
    D7M                         D/Gb
And she lets you go cheat, long as you come home
     Em7                           A                        D7M   D/Gb
From searching the streets for someone like the one you let go


[Post-Chorus]
              Em7
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
A                     D7M   D/Gb
 Like the one you let go
              Em7   A
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)


[Verse 2]
             D7M
I heard that girls, girls never learn
            D/Gb
Change everything 'bout myself, hopin' I'd get a turn (Yeah)
        Em7                     G
Just to be the one he daydream about
                 D7M                        D/Gb
In a two-bedroom house with a wife he don't even love
                  Em7
She was easier, I guess
                  G
God bless, but it couldn't be me, yo (Couldn't be me)


[Chorus]
D7M                          D/Gb
She's got her face beat, and she's always home
    Em7                     G            A
And she put to sleep every dream of her own (Yeah)
    D7M                         D/Gb
And she lets you go cheat, long as you come home
     Em7                           A                        D7M   D/Gb
From searching the streets for someone like the one you let go


[Post-Chorus]
              Em7
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
A                     D7M   D/Gb Em7 A
 Like the one you let go
           D7M
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
