Verse 1:

E MajorE                            E6E6
You met her at the bank when you were paying your bills
                 E MajorE
She was a nervous littl girl with golden curls
                     E6E6
You took her on a date somewhere uptown
                  E MajorE
 When you dropped her off she said see you around

Yeah, cause nothing comes easy in a one church town


Verse 2:

E MajorE                      E6E6
You settled out of town in a highway house
                        E MajorE
You used the money that they gave her when they bought her out
                     E6E6
She went back to school to get a degree
                 E MajorE
You got a job welding pot for the army

Verse 3:

E MajorE                        E6E6
Then a paper that your father signed years ago
                  E MajorE
Turned a little man's dream into a money hole
                      E6E6
If you didn't know then daddy now you know
              E MajorE
Some men don't mind making other men poor

Ou, run daddy run, you got a kid on the way
E6E6        Asus2Asus2                     E MajorE
Ou, don't give up now, cause nothin' comes easy in a one church town

Verse 4:

E MajorE                       E6E6
Three kids in the yard and another on the way
                  E MajorE
She's sittin' by her mother's side beggin' her to stay
                             E6E6
There was talk that you shoulda' sued the chemical plant
                   E MajorE
But there wasn't no price that could bring her back


Bridge:

F#m7F#m7                       E MajorE
And you just keep livin' through the good and the bad
                        E MajorE
Well there ain't no dream that was bigger than that


Chorus 3:

Asus2Asus2                    E MajorE
Ou, we all learn so hard that life must pre-vail
E6E6        Asus2Asus2                     E MajorE
Ou, don't give up now, cause nothin' comes easy in a one church town
E6E6        Asus2Asus2                     E MajorE
Ou, don't give up now, cause nothin' lives down in a one church town
