Intro

Am F C G6

Verse 1

AmIt took his breath away, Fholding the bank page

CHe got the letter, they're G6going to take the house away

AmAbout to have a daughter, Fhe yells it in the air

CFeeling the weight of the G6world that just don't Fcare

AmHe lit a cigarette, Ffelt it on his lip

CDriving home on a G6long road with regret

AmHe rolls the window down, Fshouts it out loud

CPushing the pedal and G6praying "Lord, help us Fnow"

G6He's looking for a reason Gwatching the sun going down

Chorus

Verse 2

AmIt was Monday night, Funder the street lights

CShe's turning seventeG6en in seven nights

AmOut on the fairgrounds, Fwalking in monotone

CShe kicks a bottle that's G6empty as her soul

AmOut on the road alone, Fin a house that's half a home

CThey give her pills to G6kill when she feels Amalone

G6She's looking for a reason Gwatching the sun going down
