GIRL AND HER DOG
As recorded by Mary Chapin Carpenter
(From the 2025 Album PERSONAL HISTORY)

[Intro]
G Em7 C Am7 D
G Em7 C Am7 D

[Verse 1]
G
Everyone asks when you're growing up
Em7
"Who do you wanna be?"
C
I never had an answer, couldn't figure out
D
Why I couldn't see
G
Myself as some future other
Em7
No one's partner, no one's mother
C
No one's answer, no one's lover
D
Nobody but me

[Chorus]
C
But the older I get the more I see
G
That more by itself never worked for me
Em7 G
Keeping it simple as it can be
C D
Walking along just him and me
C
Mornings here with a coffee cup
G
Songs in my head, looking up
Em7 G C
If the rain holds off we'll be in luck
D G Em7 C Am7 D
But we're lucky anyway

[Verse 2]
G
A long time ago I got married once
Em7
It didn't take long to find
C
That the words I heard coming out of his mouth
D
Were not the truthful kind
G
I thought about moving to LA
Em7
Maybe upstate or the UK
C
Anywhere as long as it's far away
