C/GC/G C majorC E minorEm A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 x2

C/GC/G         E minorEm
There was a pretty girl
     A minorAm       C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
from some small suburb of Dallas
    C/GC/G       E minorEm       A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
and she came up to New York with a dream

  C/GC/G         E minorEm
In the confusion and the noise
      A minorAm      C majorC  Fmaj7Fmaj7
all of her beauty and her poise
     C/GC/G      E minorEm         C majorC
turned grey like snow beside the city street


  C/GC/G        E minorEm
she met a boy named Steven
      A minorAm     C majorC  Fmaj7Fmaj7
they made love in his apartment
    C/GC/G     E minorEm         A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
in a second story walk up out in Queens


  C majorC             E minorEm
and the things she hoped to find
      A minorAm        Fmaj7Fmaj7
beneath him on that August night
     C majorC         E minorEm
was the farthest thing from her
           A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
as she dressed to leave

    Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6 C majorC
so she hides her eyes
    Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6 C majorC
says a slow goodbye
       Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6  C majorC   E minorEm    Fmaj7Fmaj7
swears by the morn-ing light, she'll be fine

    C majorC      E minorEm
at a wedding in Connecticut
    A minorAm      Fmaj7Fmaj7
the mother of the bride
    C majorC      E minorEm           A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
day dreams about her husband who's just past


    C majorC          E minorEm
as she stands to give her toast
       A minorAm      Fmaj7Fmaj7
she says the only thing i know
      C majorC          E minorEm
is when you find a love thats worth it
      C majorC C
make it last


  C majorC           E minorEm
so she chokes back the tears
       A minorAm         Fmaj7Fmaj7
and speaks of all her daughters years
     C majorC      E minorEm          A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
thirty christmas' of memories that she keeps


     C majorC          E minorEm
and the speech was sad and sweet
   A minorAm       Fmaj7Fmaj7
she kisses guests as they all leave
   C majorC        E minorEm        C majorC
then heads off to her hotel room to weep


    Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6  C majorC
so she bides her time
      Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6 C majorC
and says a slow goodbye
       Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6 C majorC    E minorEm    C majorC
swears by the morn-ing light, she'll be fine


     Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6 C majorC
yeah she hides her eyes
      Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6   C majorC
though its hard some nights
        Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6   C majorC  E minorEm    Fmaj7Fmaj7
she'll take her own  sweet time, she'll be fine


C/GC/G E minorEm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 x2


  C/GC/G         E minorEm
A augmentedA welder who spent twenty years
    A minorAm      Fmaj7Fmaj7
working in an auto plant
   C/GC/G       E minorEm       A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
gets laid off on a thursday afternoon


    C/GC/G         E minorEm
and he grips the fourty-five
         A minorAm         Fmaj7Fmaj7
that rests in the glove box when he drives
    C/GC/G    E minorEm         A minorAm   C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
then puts the gun away and wonders what to do


  C/GC/G         E minorEm
so he parks in his driveway
   A minorAm        Fmaj7Fmaj7
and head against the steering wheel
    C/GC/G     E minorEm         A minorAm C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
and tries to think what to tell his wife


      C/GC/G       E minorEm
and in the kitchen, he explains
   A minorAm   '   Fmaj7Fmaj7
and swears they'll be okay
      C/GC/G        E minorEm          A minorAm C majorC C
she says, you're the only thing i need in this life


   Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6 C majorC
so he bides his time
      Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6 C majorC
and says a slow goodbye
       Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6 C majorC   E minorEm    Fmaj7Fmaj7
swears by the morn-ing light, he'll be fine


    Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6  C majorC
yes he hides his eyes
      Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6  C majorC
though its hard some nights
       Fmaj7Fmaj7 G6G6  C majorC    E minorEm    Fmaj7Fmaj7
he'll take his own sweet time, and he'll be fine
