He Thinks He'll Keep Her Mary-Chapin Carpenter Capo 2

[Intro]
G Em C
G Em C

[Verse 1]
G Em C
She makes his coffee, she makes his bed
G Em C
She does the laundry, she keeps him fed
D Am
When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
D Em C D
She said forever with a smile upon her face
G Em C
She does the carpool, she PTA's
G Em C
Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
D Am
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
D Em C D
And every christmas card showed a perfect family

[Chorus]
G D C D G
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
D C D
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he'll keep her
G D C D G
Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
D C D G Em C
God forbid you'd change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her

[Verse 2]
G Em C
She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits
G Em C
With no expression upon her face
D Am
When she was thirty-six she met him at the door
D Em C D
She said, "I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore"

[Chorus]
G D C D G
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
D C D
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he'll keep her
G D C D G
Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
D C D G Em C G Em C
God forbid you'd change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her

[Verse 3]
D Am
For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
D Em C D
Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage

[Chorus]
G D C D G
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
