19, acting [Ab] 33, [Am] living [C] out a young girl's [F] dream as planned.
A [G] brick home, a mimosa tree, a single [G] car, family [C] man.
[C]
She stayed at home because she wanted to.
He [A] told her that's what [C] good mothers [F] do, and she listened.
So [G] he worked days, he worked nights, he worked so hard to get it right for [C] them.
So this is life when you get lost [F] in a fairy tale.
When you dream [G] big and you [G] love well, when you barely [C] get by.
35, mother of three, [Am] kids at school, [C] daytime TV, [F] it's too quiet.
While [G] the laundry dries, she reads a book.
When the kids get home, she'll start to cook while they [C] fight.
He works overtime [Ab] and he talks all [Am] day.
When he gets home, he [G] don't have nothing to say and [F] she's dying.
[G] They need different things, it's evident.
And all they share is what they [C] spent on trying.
So this is life when you give up [F] who you want to be.
When you get good [G] at make-believe, when you're living [C] a lie.
Now she's 49, feeling 70, [Am] and hanging on [C] to a memory [F] with both hands.
They [G]
lost a child ten years ago, one strung out, one doesn't know who [C] she is.
He took a lover just last year, he [Am] broke a [C] bond and lives in fear.
[F] The man he knew he'd become.
So [G] he worked long days and stayed out nights, trying to find the right [C] way to run.
So this is life [G] when [C]
you throw [F] out the game plan.
When you can't [G] seem [G] to understand.
When you wish [C] you could fly.
Was this his path?
When losing [Bb] [F] is winning.
And when you see a new [G] beginning in the [Dm] form of [G]
good.
[C]
[Gb]
Thanks.
