{Chorus:} 

C             F 
I can't stay 

          C 
I can't explain 
   

So I guess I'll sit back down and 

G                  F       Fm 
Try to describe it again. 
   
   
   

   C                           F 
Someday I might see you on the freeway 

                 C 
At the end of the day 

                           G 
Driving your husband's new car 
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_mother_hips/i_cant_stay_crd.html ]
                  F     Fm 
And my good mood away. 
   

This indoor lifestyle 
And the headaches you had as a child 
My drinking and carrying on 
That you say are wild. 
   

Chorus 
   

Most of the time 
My head is simply not in the clouds 
And I don't often do something more 
Than my mom would allow. 

Girl I guess its over 
We could say let's just be friends 
But you know as well as I do 
That every highway has two ends. 
   

Chorus 
   

Boxes in the sand dunes 
Reactors tucked away in the hills 
The lampshades and the draperies 
And that bottle of those little purple pills. 

All this adds up 
To a sum that is somebody else 
We got down here together 
But you'll have to climb out by yourself. 
   

Chorus 2x
