Intro: C   C15    F   x2
C                 C15            F                 
Got your message on the answering machine, 
C        C15                F
You said you'd be late again- 
           F
But what does that mean? 
C            C15              F                
It means im lonely- after all, 
C             C15                    F
So ill be waiting here in case you call. 

C    C15   F x2

C               C15                 F
I guess our telephone ain't gonna ring, 
C         C15           F
I found a note he wrote, 
                                  C
It says he heard you sing. 
     C15                 F          
So I guess your out with him, 
    C                   C15           F
Whats a marriage mean to you? 

Do you wear you diamond ring when you lay down? 

Em  F  Em  G
Oh-oh-oh, 

Chorus:
C            Em
You drop your dress, 
F                  G
You turn your head,
C          Em        Dm           Em      F              G       
You hold him when I sleep at home alone in our bed. 

Verse 2:
I didn't sleep last night- waitin' by the window, 
Now the mornings come with night time glow. 
You told me where you were 
I said you lie, 
Don't you even wanna try? 
I take that ring back cause you dont wanna be my wife. 

Oh oh-oh-oh,
Chrous: 
You drop your dress, 
You turn your head,
You hold him when I sleep at home alone in our bed. 
You drop your dress,
You turn your head,
You hold him when I sleep at home alone in our bed. 

Bridge:
        Em           
Do you know girl, 
         F
Bout the justice of the peace, 
         Dm
Is gotta bring one of us to our knees. 
      Em                                             F                Em  
So I'll go down you can come back home even though, 
F                                G
I know your gonna keep runnin' round. 

Chorus:
You drop your dress, 
You turn your head,
You hold him when I sleep at home alone in our bed. 
You drop your dress, 
You turn your head,
You hold him when I sleep at home alone in our bed. 
You drop your dress, 
You turn your head,
You hold him when I sleep at home alone in our bed.
