Days Of Our Wives

 F


(Verse 1)
F
She watches the soaps and pins all her hopes
        Bb
and her dreams.
    C
She lets her mind drift with the scripts that
              F
unfold on the screen.

She can't live like they live but each day she
               Bb
sits there and tries.
     C                                      Bb
Like sands through the hourglass so are the days
       F
of our wives.



(Verse 2)
F                                          Bb
One life to live, one heart to give to her man.
      C
She's raisin' her babies and doing the best that
    F
she can.
F
So, she watches the soaps and sometimes just sits
          Bb
there and cries.
     C
Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of
    F
our wives.



(Chorus)
F                         Bb       C            F
So, fly away heart on the wings of make believe things.
     Dm                  G                C
It's nice to pretend and maybe cry at the end.
F
She watches the soaps and sometimes just sits there
    Bb
and cries.
     C
Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of our
F
wives.

(Chorus)
F                         Bb       C            F
So, fly away heart on the wings of make believe things.
     Dm                  G                C
It's nice to pretend and maybe cry at the end.
F
She watches the soaps and sometimes just sits there
    Bb
and cries.
     C
Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of our
F
wives.



(Outro)
     C
Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of our
F
wives.
