[Verse 1]
[F][C][Dm][Am][E]
[Am]When she was 22 th[D]e
[F]future looked bri[C]ght
[Am]But she's nearly 30 no[D]w
and [F]she's out every [Am]night[E]
[Am]I see that look [D]in her face
[F]she's got that look in [C]her eye
[Am]She's thinking how did I get h[D]ere
[F]and wondering why[Am][E]

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]It's sad but it's true[Am] how society says[G]
Her life is already [F]o v[Em]er
[Dm]There's nothing to do[C]
and there's nothing [G]to say
[Dm]Til the man of her dream[Am]s
comes along picks her [G]up
and puts her over his [F]shoul[Em]der
[Dm]It seems so unli[C]ke- ly
in this day [G]and age

[Verse 2]
[Am]She's got an al ri[D]ght job
[F]but it's not a [C]career
[Am]Wherever she think[D]s about it,
[F]it brings her to tea[Am]rs[E]
[Am]Cause all she wants is a boyfr[D]iend
[F]She gets one- nig[C]ht stands
[Am]She's thinking how did I get h[D]ere
[F]I'm doing all that I can[Am][E]

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]It's sad but it's true[Am] how society says[G]
Her life is already [F]o v[Em]er

and there's nothing [G]to say
[Dm]Til the man of her dream[Am]s
comes along picks her [G]up
and puts her over his [F]shoul[Em]der
[Dm]It seems so unli[C]ke- ly
in this day [G]and age
