Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][F#m][Bm][G][D][F#m][G]
There [D]was a pretty [F#m]girl
From some [Bm]small suburb of Dal[G]las
And [D]she came up to New [F#m]York with a d[G]ream
In the con[D]fusion and [F#m]the noise
All of her [Bm]beauty and [G]her poise
Turned [D]gray like snow be
[G]side the city [D]street
She met a boy named [F#m]Steven
They [Bm]made love in his apart[G]ment
In a [D]second story [F#m]walk up out in Q[G]ueens
And [D]the thing she hoped to [F#m]find
Beneath him [Bm]on that August n[G]ight
Was the [D]farthest thing [G]from her
As she dressed [D]to leave

[Verse 2]
So she [G]hides [A]her [D]eyes
Says a [G]slow [A]good[D]bye
Swears by the [G]morn[A]ing [D]light [F#m]she'll be [G]fine

[Verse 3]
At a [D]wedding in Con[F#m]necticut
The [Bm]mother of [G]the bride
Day[D]dreams about her hus
[F#m]band who's just p[G]assed
She [D]stands to give a toast
[F#m]She says 'the only t[Bm]hing I know[G]
Is when you [D]find a love that's [G]worth it,
[D]make it last'
So she chokes back to tears
[F#m]Speaks of all he[Bm]r daughter's years[G]
Thirty [D]Christmases of memor
[F#m]ies that she keeps
[G]And the[D] speech was sad and sweet
[F#m]She kisses guests[Bm] as they all le[G]ave
Then [D]heads up to her
[G]hotel room to [D]weep

[Verse 4]
So she [G]bides [A]her [D]time
And says a [G]slow [A]good[D]bye
Swears by the [G]morn[A]ing
[D]light she'll [G]be fine

[Verse 5]
Yea, she [G]hides [A]her [D]eyes
And though it's [G]hard [A]some [D]nights
She'd take [G]her own [A]sweet [D]time,
she'll be [G]fine

[Verse 6]
[D]A[F#m][G]
[D][F#m][G]
[D]welder
who spent [F#m]twenty years
[Bm]Working [D]in an [G]auto plant
Gets [D]laid off [F#m]on a Thursday af [D]ternoon
[G]And he gri[D]ps the[F#m] 45
That rests in the [Bm]glove
box [G]when he drives
Then he [D]puts the gun away
[G]And wonders what [D]to do
So he parks [F#m]in his driveway
And [Bm]head against [G]the steel meal
[D]Tries to think [F#m]of what to tell his [G]wife
And in the [D]kitchen he explain[F#m]s
And [Bm]swears they'll be okay
[G]And she[D] says 'you're the
only [G]thing I need [D]in this life'

[Verse 7]
So he [G]bides [A]his [D]time
And says a [G]slow [A]good[D]bye
Swears by the [G]morn[A]ing
[D]light he'll [G]be fine

[Verse 8]
Yea, he [G]hides [A]his [D]eyes
And though it's [G]hard [A]some [D]nights
He'd take her [G]own [A]sweet [D]time,
he'll [G]be fine
