Verse 1:
  G                 Am
I go see "Thérèse Dreamin"
                                       F
She's stretchin' out her sore shoulder
        G                           Am
Leanin' back, eyes closed, reachin' up
       G               C
She's wishin' she was older
Dm                   C
Dreamin' of an Appaloosa
            G             Am    Dm
Saddled up, ridin' out of town
                     C
Dreamin' of a Shelby cobra
            G            Am
Diggin' her tires in the ground

Pre-chorus:
Dm                      Em
Bleeding, bringing in a new year's mess
F
Unaware of the stain on her dress

Chorus:
     C                E7
It's tactless, it's a test
                 F
It's just Thérèse, it's just Thérèse

Verse 2:
      G             Am
White kitten in the corner
                               F
Obscene, it really says it all
          G                 Am
Milk matches her undеrwear
             G             C             Dm
And get her down, takе her off the wall
                        C
She dreams of Marlon in Austin
                G         Am   Dm
Their bodies tangled in a net
                           C
She thinks of him every so often
               G             Am
When she feels like a space cadet

Pre-chorus:
    Dm         Em
She empathizes with your feelings
F
She's more interested in ceilings

Chorus:
     C                E7
It's tactless, it's a test
                 F
It's just Thérèse, it's just Thérèse
     C                E7
It's tactless, it's a test
                 F
It's just Thérèse, it's just Thérèse

Verse 3:
            G          Am
She reminds me of memories
                                F
Sleeping off the growing pains
             G        Am
We were sea anemones
                                 Dm
Spelling out each other's names
                      C
Whispering inside our red house
          G               Am      Dm
While the adults were a-sleeping
                             C
I guess Thérèse was just for me
        G          Am
A quiet I keep on keeping

Pre-chorus:
     Dm              Em
Thérèse does not belong to you
     F
The horses, cars, and cowboys do

Chorus:
     C                E7
It's tactless, it's a test
                 F
It's just Thérèse, it's just Thérèse
     C                E7
It's tactless, it's a test
                 F
It's just Thérèse, it's just Thérèse
     C                E7
It's tactless, it's a test
                 F
It's just Thérèse
     C                E7
It's tactless, it's a test
                 F
It's just Thérèse
