(Appears on Action Packed and Having A Party With Jonathan Richman)
Having A Party With Jonathan Richman version - Chords
E
When I say 'wife'
A E
it's cause I can't find another word
A B
for the way we be
A B
but 'wife' sounds like you're mortgaged
A B
'wife' sounds like laundry
E
When I say 'wife'
A E
it's cause I can't find another word
A B
for the way we are
A B
but 'wife' sounds like you're mortgaged
A E
sounds like the family car
B
the tax form comes
fill out 'married'
cause I know what they're lookin for
C#m
but I'm tellin you
that I'm just a person
B
same as I was before
E
When I say 'wife'
A E
it's cause if you said 'lover' every day
A B
you're gonna begin to gag
A B
but 'wife' sounds like you're mortgaged
A E
sounds like the laundry bag
B
the tax form comes
fill out 'married'
a technicality
C#m
but I'm tellin you
that I'm not married
I'm not single
B
I'm still me
E
I say 'wife'
A E
because it stops all talk right away
A B
about the way we be
A B
but 'wife' sounds like you're mortgaged
A E
'wife' sounds like laundry

When I say 'wife'
it's cause I can't find another word
for the way we be
but 'wife' sounds like you're mortgaged
'wife' sounds like laundry
When I say 'wife'
it's cause I can't find another word
for the way we are
but 'wife' sounds like you're mortgaged
sounds like the family car
the tax form comes
fill out 'married'
cause I know what they're lookin for
but I'm tellin you
that I'm just a person
same as I was before
When I say 'wife'
it's cause if you said 'lover' every day
you're gonna begin to gag
but 'wife' sounds like you're mortgaged
sounds like the laundry bag
the tax form comes
fill out 'married'
a technicality
but I'm tellin you
that I'm not married
I'm not single
I'm still me
I say 'wife'
because it stops all talk right away
about the way we be
but 'wife' sounds like you're mortgaged
'wife' sounds like laundry
