The Bed – Gretchen Wilson/Big and Rich

A
On his side of the bed

A#o
He's sleeping like a baby

             D
Dreams are dancing in his head

Dm
Lying with his lady

         A             F#m
It's a peaceful night

           D        
And everything’s just fine

E             A            E
On his side of the bed

        A              
But on her side of the bed

      A#o                  
Those big brown eyes are crying

           D
From the things he never says

Dm
And deep inside she’s dying

         A                  F#m  
As she turns to face the wall

           D 
There’s no love at all

E                   A             Bm    A/C#   
On her side of the bed        *If He'd just

D                  Bm 
Reach out she'd forget about

                      A             Bm  A/C#        
all the times that he let her down      Oh but

D                 Bm    
In his mind everything’s alright

1.         E
When the lights go out *

NC      A
Now on his side of the bed

A#o
He never even noticed

      D
Her negligee of red

Dm
The very same one that she wore

A                           Fm#
The night that they were wed

             D    
But he never turned his head

E              A                Bm   A/C#   
To her side of the bed      *If he'd just

D                  Bm
Reach out she'd forget about

                      A            Bm A/C#           
all the times that he let her down     oh but

D                 Bm
In his mind everything’s alright
 
                     1 beat    4 beats
2.         E          A       D 
When the lights go out

3 beats   1beat   
C#m        Cm    Bm   E

       A
Now on his side of the bed

A#o
He wakes up and turns to say 

    D
I love you but instead 

Dm whole note
All he finds are pages full of   

A 1/2 note       F#m 1/2 note                 
Words she never said

           D 1/2 note
And that’s all she left

E 1/2 note           A whole note
On her side of the bed
