[C]
19, acting 33, [Am] living [C] out a young [F] girl's dream as planned.
[Gm] [G] A brick home, a mimosa tree, a single car, a family [C] man.
She stayed at home cause she wanted [Am] to, he told her [C] that's what good mothers [F] do, and she listened.
So [G] he worked days, he worked nights, he worked so hard to get it right [C] for them.
So this is life when you get lost [F]
in a fairy tale.
When you dream [G] big and you love well, you barely [C]
get by.
35, mother of three, kids at school, daytime [F] TV, it's too quiet.
While [G] the laundry dries, she reads a book.
When the kids get home, she'll start to cook [C] while they fight.
He works overtime [Ab] and he talks all [Am] day.
When he gets home, he [G] don't have nothing to [F] say.
She's dying.
They [G] need different things, it's evident.
And all they share is what they [C] spent on trying.
So this is life when you [F] give up who you want to be.
When you get [Gm] good [G] at make-believe.
When you're [Gm] living [C] a lie.

[G] [A] [C]
Now she's 49, feeling 70 [Am] and hanging on [C] to a [F] memory with both hands.
[G] They lost a child ten years ago, one strung out, one doesn't know [C] who she is.
He took a lover just last year, he broke a bond and lives in [F] fear of 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,
[F]
[Gm] [G]
you wish you could [C] fly.
Yes, this is life, when losing is [F] winning.
When you see a [G] new beginning.
In the [D] form of [C] goodbye.
