Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
   G+G
She's on her way to work

Her heart is wearing thin
   E minorEm
The tattoos leave a mark

From everywhere she's been
      A minorAm
Cause she's never in one place
  C majorC
She takes it on the chin
   G+G
Now tears are welling up

And they are rushing down her skin
      A minorAm
While she's pushing trough the door
   C majorC
She hides behind a grin
  G+G
But no one really knows

How sad she feels within
A minorAm C majorC G+G
Oh, oh
A minorAm         C majorC       G+G D MajorD
Life goes on, put a sad song on

Chorus:
   G+G
She's tryna go the distance, but she's running out of love
  D MajorD
It doesn't make a difference, no it's never quite enough
   A minorAm
Buys chocolate bars and magazines, the things that make her smile
        C majorC   G+G  D MajorD
But she falls down, down, down

She's on her way
G+G
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up
  D MajorD
She goes home at 11 with her coat all buttoned up
   A minorAm
Buys cigarettes and DVDs, the thing that make her smile
       C majorC    G+G  D MajorD
But she falls down, down, down
           G+G
She's on her way to nowhere

Verse 2:
G+G
Driving in the rain to her house right up the road
  E minorEm
Her name is on the mailbox but it never feels like home
      A minorAm                 C majorC
When she's climbing into bed, you know, she's climbing all alone
       G+G
When she's climbing into bed

She's climbing on her own
A minorAm C majorC G+G
Oh, oh
A minorAm         C majorC       G+G D MajorD
Life goes on, put a sad song on


Chorus:
   G+G
She's tryna go the distance, but she's running out of love

It doesn't make a difference, no it's never quite enough
    A minorAm
Buys chocolate bars and magazines, the things that make her smile
        C majorC  G+G   D MajorD
But she falls down, down, down

She's on her way
 G+G
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up

She goes home at 11 with her coat all buttoned up
   A minorAm
Buys cigarettes and DVDs, the thing that make her smile

She's on her way to nowhere

And takes a later shift

    A minorAm
When he takes her by the hand

She does not resist

She's on her way
