Chords with lyrics
C majorC
Bobby Darwin's daughter looks up from the bible
FF
she's been reading to the clock on her dirty wall of a double wide, it's 3 a.m.
C majorC
Her husband's on the town shooting pool or fooling 'round,
DmDm E minorEm
or all of the above it doesn't matter anymore, she can't get through to him
FF
Seems like only yesterday they were married in a chapel,
G+G C majorC
candlelight the whole nine yards, honeymoon in Vegas, they settled down
DmDm G+G
Now it's lonely nights and hungry kids
DmDm G+G C majorC
She just keeps on looking for the life that's not the life she's living now
Chorus:
DmDm G+G
Bobby Darwin's daughter used to ask her father
C majorC C/EC/E FF
where Santa Clause and babies and God came from
DmDm G+G
And as she's gotten older all those easy answers
C majorC C/EC/E FF
are somewhere between here and king- dom come
A minorAm G+G C majorC C/EC/E FF
And in her darkest hours, Bobby Darwin's daughter wishes she could go back when
G+G C majorC
she'd ask where (AbAb+)god came from instead of wondering where he's been
C majorC
Bobby Darwin's daughter dropping off the kids driving home
FF
in the pouring rain sudden skid and just like that she's clinging to her life
C majorC
Her husband rushes in the tiny room and through his tears whispers, "I love you,
baby please, don't leave me now, you're my only life"
FF
He bows his head and prays aloud, "This one thing I promise,
G+G C majorC
if I could get just one more chance to be the man, I should have been I'll be that man"
DmDm G+G
She a- wakens to another world,
DmDm G+G C majorC
stares into his grateful eyes of love, she smiles at him, he takes her hand
Chorus:
DmDm G+G
Bobby Darwin's daughter used to ask her father
C majorC C/EC/E FF
where Santa Clause and babies and God came from
DmDm G+G
And as she's gotten older all those easy answers
C majorC C/EC/E FF
are somewhere between here and king- dom come
A minorAm G+G C majorC C/EC/E
And in her darkest hours, Bobby Darwin's daughter never saw till now that
FF G+G C majorC
she was wrong about where (AbAb+)God came from and that he's been here all along
