But now, my message is old and body bagged.
[Ab]
You've painted up your face and got [Db] your old minister [Eb] on tight.
[Ab] Honey, are you contemplating [Db] going out [Eb] again tonight?
[Db] Just cause my eyes are bleary, [Ab] watching TV [Cm] till the [Fm] dawn.
[Bb] That don't mean that I [Ab] can't see [Eb] what's [Db] been going [Eb] on.
[E]
[Ab] What's that, hon?
I need to [Eb] sleep.
[Ab] I ain't blind to Jesus.
Well, darling, you've been [C] grouching
[Db] that I've been slouching on the couch and drinking [Ab] beer,
watching TV, [Bb] eating Fritos and taking [Eb] naps.
[Ab] And you said that sooner or later you knew [Db] I'd turn into a couch potato
with [Ab] my popcorn bowl [Eb] instead of you there on [Ab] my lap.
So you started cutting capers [Db] with all my friends and neighbors
coming [Ab] home after the late, late show [Bb] full of wine, excuses, and [Eb]
lies.
[Ab] And you think I'm unsuspecting of [Db] all the loves you've been collecting.
Whoa, [Ab] but even [Eb] couch potatoes [Ab] have eyes.
[Bbm] [Ab] [Db] A couch potato can [Ab] tell a bad tomato.
I've been baking, whipping, frying till I [Eb] got, I got wise.
So [Ab] don't think I'm unaware of [Db] just who you've been taking care of.
[Ab] Cause even [Eb] couch potatoes [Ab] have eyes.
[Db] Peas.
[Bbm]
I get [Ab] nothing more than peas.
[Eb]
[Ab]
Along with a [Eb] guy.
I [Ab] might be a lazy loafer, [Db] or dozing on this sofa.
[Ab] But even [Eb] couch potatoes [Ab] have eyes.
[Db] Even a couch potato [Ab] can tell a bad tomato.
I've been baking, whipping, frying till I [Eb] got wise, I got wise.
Why must [Ab] you tear me all apart?
[Db] Even our church have hearts.
[Ab] Even [Eb] couch potatoes [Ab] have eyes.
Even [Eb] couch potatoes [Db] have eyes.
[Ab] [N]
