Intro: E B A B
 
Verse 1:
E                     B                         A
Hey, Dorothea, do you ever stop and think about me?
B                    E
When we were younger down in the park
       B                    A     B
Honey, making a lark of the misery
    E                       B
You got shiny friends since you left town
  A                              B
A tiny screen's the only place I see you now
      E           B               A      B
And I got nothing but well-wishes for ya
 
Pre-chorus:
Gbm Dbm       E                       B
Ooh ooh, this place is the same as it ever was
Gbm Dbm E                      B
Ooh ooh, but you don't like it that way
 
Chorus:
     E                      B
It's never too late to come back to my side
    A                         B
The stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo
    E                             B
And if you're ever tired of bеing known for who you know
    A                        B       Gbm Dbm   E  B
You know, you'll always know me, Dorothea (Uh-uh)
    Gbm Dbm   E B
Dorothea (Ah-ah)
 
Post-chorus:
Gbm Dbm           E                             B
Ooh ooh, you'rе a queen sellin' dreams, sellin' makeup in magazines
Gbm Dbm E                   B
Ooh ooh, from you I'd buy anything
 
Verse 2:
E                     B                         A
Hey, Dorothea, do you ever stop and think about me?
B                   E                         B                         A              B
When it was calmer, skipping the prom just to xxxx off your mom and her pageant schemes
    E                    B
And damn, Dorothea, they all wanna be ya
    A                              B
But are you still the same soul? I met under the bleachers, well...
 
Pre-chorus:
Gbm Dbm E                  B
Ooh ooh, I guess I'll never know
Gbm Dbm E                         B
Ooh ooh, and you'll go on with the show
 
Chorus:
         Gbm                    Dbm
But it's never too late to come back to my side
    E                         B
The stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo
    Gbm                           Dbm
And if you're ever tired of being known for who you know
    E                        B       E B      A B
You know, you'll always know me, Dorothea (Uh-uh)
    E B      A B
Dorothea (Ah-ah)

     Gbm     Dbm
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
    E                        B
Ooh-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
    Gbm Dbm   E   B
Dorothea (Ah-ah--ah)

Ah-ah
Gbm Dbm E B
