Verse 1:

E                                                        E6
You met her at the bank when you were paying your bills
                                  E
She was a nervous littl girl with golden curls
                                         E6
You took her on a date somewhere uptown
                                   E
 When you dropped her off she said see you around


Chorus 1:

Asus2                                        E
Ou, it took a few years cuttin' the walls down
E6                        Asus2                   E
Yeah, cause nothing comes easy in a one church town


Verse 2:

E                                           E6
You settled out of town in a highway house
                                                E
You used the money that they gave her when they bought her out
                                         E6
She went back to school to get a degree
                                  E
You got a job welding pot for the army


Verse 3:

E                                               E6
Then a paper that your father signed years ago
                                   E
Turned a little man's dream into a money hole
                                            E6
If you didn't know then daddy now you know
                           E
Some men don't mind making other men poor


Chorus 2:

Asus2                                   E
Ou, run daddy run, you got a kid on the way
E6                Asus2                                         E
Ou, don't give up now, cause nothin' comes easy in a one church town

Verse 4:

E                                             E6
Three kids in the yard and another on the way
                                   E
She's sittin' by her mother's side beggin' her to stay
                                                         E6
There was talk that you shoulda' sued the chemical plant
                                     E
But there wasn't no price that could bring her back


Bridge:

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


Chorus 3:

Asus2                                       E
Ou, we all learn so hard that life must pre-vail
E6                Asus2                                         E
Ou, don't give up now, cause nothin' comes easy in a one church town
E6                Asus2                                         E
Ou, don't give up now, cause nothin' lives down in a one church town
