 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

F#m  C#m        E                     B
Ooh ooh, this place is the same as it ever was
F#m  C#m 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 being known for who you know
      A                       B       F#m  C#m  E  B
You know, you'll always know me, Dorothea (Uh-uh)
    F#m C#m  E B
Dorothea (Ah-ah)

Ooh ooh, you're a queen sellin' dreams,
sellin' makeup in magazines
Ooh ooh, from you I'd buy anything

Hey, Dorothea, do you ever stop and think about me?
When it was calmer, skipping the prom just to piss off
your mom and her pageant schemes
And damn, Dorothea, they all wanna be ya
But are you still the same soul
I met under the bleachers? Well

Ooh ooh, I guess I'll never know
Ooh ooh, and you'll go on with the show

Chorus:
But it's never too late to come back to my side
The stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo
And if you're ever tired of being known for who you know
You know, you'll always know me, Dorothea (Uh-uh)
Dorothea (Ah-ah)
