I just my index finge to mute the 6th string, and my thumb to mute the 1st string. Also,

F.

I took the Polaroid down in my room
                   
I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend
                         /
it's not as if I don't like you
                    
it just makes me sad whenever I see it
                                  /
'cause I like to be gone most of the time
                       
and you like to be home most of the time
                                /
if I stay in one place I lose my mind
                      
I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with

Chorus:
                                      /
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
                      
and I never met a Toby that I didn't like
                                         /
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
                   
even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended


I had a dream that had to drive to Madison
to deliver a painting for some silly reason
I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan
Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing
gave me a push and he started singing
I sang along while I was swinging
the sound of our voices made us forget everything
that had ever hurt our feelings

now I'm home for less than twenty-four hours
that's hardly time to take a shower
hug my family and take your picture off the wall
before it's time to leave again
I've got one hand on the steering wheel
one waving out the window
if I'm a spinster for the rest of my life
my arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights
