[Verse 1]
You've [F]got [Am]a cardboard house
Live there [Asus4]all the t[D]ime
[A]Keep your mem[D]ories tied with str[F]ing
[Am]The face that many once adored
Twenty [Asus4]years gone may
[D]be [Asus4]more[A]
Some[Asus4]where you[D] lost the dre[F]am[Am]
Mama watched your every move,
But now you're all [D]alone, oh [A]yeah

She's [Asus4]been gone[D] for awhi[F]le[Am]
Daddy left some time ago,
Fading years pass too [D]slow

All the ads and people say,
Beauty lets [A]you [Asus4]get

[Am]Street corner girl
Watch [Asus4]the crowd go [D]by
[A]Fill your tin[D] can with lif[F]e
[Am]Summer days tend to slip away
Like your men you [Asus4]couldn't make [D]them stay
[A]Har[D]d to choose,
whiskey [F]or a wife
[Am]Sometimes you wonder
where's the end
Where [Asus4]you goin' where [D]you [A]been?
Happiness [D]seems so hard to [F]win[Am]
