Verse 1:

Guitar 1 - riff 1
         D                 A              Bm   G A
well she followed him from Phoenix out to Califor...
D            A                 Bm   G A
and then she passed out on the bed
D           A                Bm          G         A
and all the little things he never even asked her for
D          A                    Bm    G A
she simply smiled and shook her head

Chorus:

Guitar 1 - riff 2
Guitar 2 - main riff

why can't we smile just like we used to?
why don't you figure anymore?
why has my simpathy now turned to malice?
it doesn't matter anymore.

Verse 2:

Guitar 1 - riff 1

and now I realize I'm livin' like a trucker does
although I haven't got the belly
and though she followed me to California all the way
I only wanna watch the telly

(Chorus)
