Waiting, watching the clock, it's 4 o'clock, it's got to stop  
                             A                        
Tell him, take no more she practices her speech  
          G                       D 
As he opens the door, she rolls over   
A                                    G  
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over  

D            A                  G             D 
She lies and says she's in love with him  
                   A               G 
Can't find a better man   
D                      A             G              D 
She dreams in color she dreams in red  
                  A                G 
Can't find a better man   
D               A                 G 
Can't find a better man  
D                A           G  
Can't find a better man, Ohh  


D                    A                                                        D  
Talking to herself there's no one else who needs to know  
                        A  
She tell herself, ohh    
D                                              A  
Memories, back when she was smooth and strong and waited for   
       G           D  
The world to come along  
A                                           G  
Swears she knew it now she swears he's gone   

(Chorus)  

D                     A      G 
She loved him, yeah.   
D                      A            G 
She don't want to leave this way   
D                     A      G 
She feeds him, yeah.   
D                             A           G 
That's why she'll be back again   
D                 A              G 
Can't find a better man
