Verse 1
3/4 time
Intro
[D] [Em] [A7] [D]
Verse 1
[D]I see my wife working, ironin' my shirts
And my [Em]mind goes to another day
And [A7]to another woman who might have been my wife
If things hadn't turned out this [D]way
[D]Lord knows I love her but I often wonder
If [Em]fate should pull back the blinds
[A7]How would my wife feel if she could see
The woman in the back of my [D]mind
Verse 2
[D]Does she do things fancy, does she have a family
Is [Em]she as happy as I
Does [A7]she spend her afternoons just playing bridge
Or baking her children a [D]pie
[D]And I often wonder if she thinks of me
When [Em]she hears those old church bell's chime
[A7]Though it's been long ago at times I miss her so
The woman in the back of my [D]mind
Verse 3
[E]Suddenly I come back to right here and now
And the [F#m]dream that I've seen come to life
And [B7]I hope she's as happy with somebody else
As I am with my loving [E]wife
[E]I might have been wrong but it's been so long
And [F#m]things work out in time
But [B7]I'd like to say I'm sorry some day
To the woman in the back of my [E]mind
Outro
[E] [F#m] [B7] [E]
