Verse 1:

we were both standing in your mother’s living room

sweating up a storm in that terrible month of June

and the sweat rolled down your cheek and into your mouth

I knew this must’ve been a dream ‘cos your mother would never let me in her

house

Chorus:

you are[D/F#] the most beautiful widow

you are[D/F#] the most beautiful widow

you are the most beautiful widow in town

Verse 2:
many years later in the glassy month of December
I stood with my hands in my pockets trying to avoid
a shiny wedding portrait hanging on that old woman’s wall
‘cos I knew you’d be wearing a smile that’d be too painful to look upon

Chorus:

Verse 1:

There’s something going on around here
I could not crawl back if I tried
I couldn’t wait around
I couldn’t wait another second
Something going on around here
I left my baby on the side of the highway
She just couldn’t see things my way

Chorus:

Someday I will treat you good
Someday I will treat you fine
Someday I will treat you good
You know I should

Verse 2:
everything that’s made is made to decay
well I’m shrinking bones in the sun
won’t you tell me why that
the beautiful ones are always crazy
she’s whispering like morticia now
I left my baby on the side of the road
I left her with a heavy load

Chorus:

Solo:

Verse 3: (First two and last two lines of Verse 1)
something going on around here
I could not crawl back if I tried
I left my baby on the side of highway
she just couldn’t see things my way

Chorus:
