Sandra - Barry Manilow (Lyrics) Chords

[Em] _ _ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] She's a great little housewife, [A] _
though sometimes [Bm] she talks like a fool.
_ [Am]
But [D] she helps at the [G] store in the holiday [F#] rush, and [B] she picks up the [E] kids [Em] after school.
_ [A]
And [C] she puts down the [G] phone when her [G#m] husband comes home, [C#] and she changes [F#m] from mother to wife
[B] _
till [Cm] she feels the [Em] words hanging between them, _ [E] and she hangs by [D] her words to her life.
[A] _ _ [D] _ She [Bm] says, I swear I love my husband, [F#m] _ I love my kids, _ I [Bm] want it to be like [F#m] my mother.
But if [G] I hadn't done it [B] as soon as [F#] I did, oh [Bm] there might have been time to [Am] be me [D] for [G] _
myself, [F#m] for myself.
_ _ [Em] There's so many [D] things [C] that she wishes, _ _ [Em] she don't even [F#] know what [C] she's missing,
_ [E] and that's [B] how she knows [Em] that she missed.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] She's a sweetheart except when [C#m] she's moody, [A] it's hard to [Bm] get through to her then.
_ [Am] _
_ [D] Depressed for [G] a while when the youngest [F#m] was born, [B] but that happens [E] now and [Em] again.
_ _ [A] _
[D] She might take [G] a drink with the housework, [G#m]
or [C#] when Michael's [F#] kept late at the [A] shop,
_ [B]
a martini or [E] two [G] before dinner, _ _ [A] _
but she always [G] knows when to [D] stop. _ _
_ [F#m] She [Bm] says, _ I swear I love my husband, _ [F#m] and I love my kids, you [Bm] know I want it to be [F#m] like my mother.
But [G] if I hadn't done it [E] as soon as [F#] I did, oh [Bm] there might have been time to [Am] be me [G] for myself, for [F#m]
myself.
_ [Em] There's so many [D] things that [C] she wishes, _ _ [Em] she don't [D] even know [C] what she's missing,
_ [E] and that's how [B] she knows that [Em] she missed.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Oh they used to hold hands [A] at the movies, now it's [Bm] seldom if ever they go.
_ [Am] _ [D] Once you've paid for [G] the sitter and park in [F#m] the car, [B] there's no money [E] left for the [Em] show.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[D] She was doing [G] the dishes _ [G#m] when a glass fell and [C#] broke on the [F#m] tile,
_ _ [B] _
[Cm] and she [Em] cut her wrist, quite by mistake, it was [D] real touch [G] and go for a [D] while.
[A] _ _ [D] She [Bm] says, oh God I love my husband, [F#m] _ and I love my kids, _ you know [Bm] I want it to be like [F#m] my mother.
But [G] if I hadn't done it [B] as [F#] soon as I did, [Bm] oh there might have been time [Am] to be me for [G] _ myself, for [F#m]
myself.
_ [Em] There's so many [D] [C] things that she wishes, _ _ [Em] she don't even [D] know [C] what she's missing,
_ [E] and that's how she knows [B] _
that [Em] she missed.
