Verse:
        C                              G
She was almost out of high school when she left home
      Em                    C
Got a job in an office, she answered the phone
    C                             G
Her boss was a creep, he wouldn’t leave her alone
           D
She had to go

Verse:
C                             G
Middle of that mess she met a fine young man
     Em                       C
They rolled into Houston in a Chevrolet van
   C              G                 D
Louisiana tags, a beautiful band of gold

Verse:
     C                 G
They carried each other  so long
         Em                  C
But they drifted apart never really went wrong
C                 G
Married too young both moved along
         D
C’est la vie

Verse:
    C                G
She starts every day    just fine
         Em                    C
Then she hears that voice same place same time
    C                                G                 D
Her mother is in the mirror with the same old lines to say

Chorus:
           C                    G
She says, ‘you know better baby,  say grace
Em                        C
Don’t even try, you can’t take your brother’s place
C                     G            D        G
Don’t even try, don’t give me that face any more

Instrumental:
C   G   C  G

Verse:
   C                                G
So where does the time go, there’s gray in her hair
         Em                          C
She sits at her dressing table, in a wrought iron chair
        C           G                            D
Wears a terry cloth robe with a tear when she’s alone

Verse:
    C                  G
The TV says war in the holy land
    Em                           C
She looks at the wrinkles on the back of her hand
C                         G
Rubs her finger where she wore a wedding band
           D
She looks away

Instrumental:
C  G  Em  C
C  G  D

Verse:
         C
Precious Savior
      G                      Em
She remembers a hymn it is a hymn she never liked
    C                       C
She goes to the gym goes to work
G
Dinner with a friend falls asleep
            D
With the TV on

Chorus:
C                    G
You know better baby,  say grace
Em                        C
Don’t even try, you can’t take your brother’s place
C                     G            D        G
Don’t even try, don’t give me that face any more

[Outro)
C                 G
   Say grace baby you know how
Em              C
All these years    even now
         G
Stand up mother take a bow
      G         D        C
