IntroEF#mAEVerse 1E
Well I ain't proud of what I'm about to do
F#m
All alone up here with you
F#m
With the picture of your man
AE
Face down upon the night stand, so he can't see
And I don't like running all the red lights here
F#m
Every time the coast is clear
F#m
Any time you need my lovin'
AE
You know I'll come running, faithfully
ChorusG#mAE
Cause he stays so busy with his money
G#mAE
And you, you get so lonely when he's gone
G#mAE
And me, I'm just your temporary lover
F#m
'Til your blues are gone
AF#mE
I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home
Verse 2E
Now the statues on the side of that big gate
F#m
They're laughing as I drive away
A
And I can't keep from thinking
E
Are they laughing at your old man or at me
And the only part that I don't like to play
F#m
Is the part when I get up and go away
I find it mighty hard
AE
Just keeping this old heart tucked away
ChorusG#mAE
Cause he stays so busy with his money
G#mAE
And you, you get so lonely when he's gone
G#mAE
And me, I'm just your temporary lover
F#m
'Til your blues are gone
AF#mE
I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home
EF#m
I'm the man of the house
AE
When your other man ain't home
EF#m
I'm the man of the house
AE
When your other man ain't home
EF#m
I'm the man of the house
AE
When your other man ain't home
EF#m
I'm the man of the house
AE
When your other man ain't home
