E F#m A E

[Verse 1]
     E 
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
     A                                      E 
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'
    A                              E 
You know I'll come running, faithfully

[Chorus]
     G#m          A             E
Cause he stays so busy with his money
    G#m             A                E
And you, you get so lonely when he's gone 
    G#m               A         E
And me, I'm just your temporary lover
          F#m 
'Til your blues are gone
        A                F#m               E 
I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home

[Verse 2]
E
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
     A                              E
Just keeping this old heart tucked away

[Chorus]
     G#m          A             E
Cause he stays so busy with his money
    G#m             A                E
And you, you get so lonely when he's gone 
    G#m               A         E
And me, I'm just your temporary lover
          F#m 
'Til your blues are gone
        A                F#m               E 
I'm the man of the house whenever he ain't home
        E          F#m        
I'm the man of the house
          A               E
When your other man ain't home
        E          F#m        
I'm the man of the house
          A               E
When your other man ain't home
       E          F#m        
I'm the man of the house
          A               E
When your other man ain't home
       E          F#m        
I'm the man of the house
          A               E
When your other man ain't home
