Chords with lyrics
If she hadn't had a [A minorAm]draggy mother
She might have been a [G+G]good chick
If she hadn't had a [A minorAm]rotten father
She might have played the [G+G]right hunch
If she hadn't been so [A minorAm]narrow-minded
She might have had a [G+G]whole bunch
If she hadn't been so [A minorAm]far behind it
Oh does it [FF]hurt when you know you can't [C majorC]play it the way that your [G+G]beau knows
Oh does it [FF]hurt when you know you can't [C majorC]say it the way that your [G+G]beau knows
And you [FF]know that that's the [C majorC]way that the show [G+G]goes
And you [A minorAm]know it really has to go [E minorEm]on.
She drank the army's [G+G]red wine
But she never found a [A minorAm]moment's pleasure
She smelled the salty [G+G]sea brine
But she never found the [A minorAm]buried treasure
She might have played the [G+G]chords right
But the song was never [A minorAm]meant for singing
She might have really [G+G]broke loose
But she never made it [A minorAm]past the clinging
I can see that it [FF]hurts when you know you can't [C majorC]play it the way that your [G+G]beau knows
I can see that it [FF]hurts when you know you can't [C majorC]say it the way that your [G+G]beau knows
And you [FF]know that that's the [C majorC]way that the show [G+G]goes
And you [A minorAm]know it really has to go [E minorEm]on.
