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

[C]
Now she's 49, feeling [Am] 70 and hanging [F] on to a memory with both hands.
[G] They lost a child ten years ago, one strung out, one doesn't [C] know who she is.
He took a lover just last [Am] year, he broke a [C] bond and lives in [F] fear, the man he knew he'd become.
So [G] he worked long days and stayed out nights, trying to find the right [D] way [C] to run.
So this is life when you throw [F] out the game plan.
When you can't [Gm] seem [G] to understand.
When you wish you [C] could fly.
Yes this is life when losing [F] is winning.
When you see a new [G] beginning in the form of [C] goodbye.
