Chords

[Verse 1]
      G
She's on her way to work
Her heart is wearing thin
     Em
The tattoos leave a mark
From everywhere she's been
            Am
Cause she's never in one place

    C
She takes it on the chin

     G
Now tears are welling up
And they are rushing down her skin
            Am
While she's pushing trough the door

     C
She hides behind a grin

    G
But no one really knows
How sad she feels within
Am C G
Oh, oh

Am                  C             G  D
Life goes on, put a sad song on
[Chorus]
      G
She's tryna go the distance, but she's running out of love

   D
It doesn't make a difference, no it's never quite enough

     Am
Buys chocolate bars and magazines, the things that make her smile

               C      G    D
But she falls down, down, down
She's on her way
G
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up

    D
She goes home at 11 with her coat all buttoned up

      Am
Buys cigarettes and DVDs, the thing that make her smile

              C       G    D
But she falls down, down, down

                     G
She's on her way to nowhere
[Verse 2]
G
Driving in the rain to her house right up the road

    Em
Her name is on the mailbox but it never feels like home

            Am                                 C
When she's climbing into bed, you know, she's climbing all alone

             G
When she's climbing into bed
She's climbing on her own
Am C G
Oh, oh

Am                  C             G D
Life goes on, put a sad song on
[Chorus]
      G
She's tryna go the distance, but she's running out of love

    D
It doesn't make a difference, no it's never quite enough

       Am
Buys chocolate bars and magazines, the things that make her smile

                C    G     D
But she falls down, down, down
She's on her way
 G
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up

    D
She goes home at 11 with her coat all buttoned up

      Am
Buys cigarettes and DVDs, the thing that make her smile

               C     G     D
But she falls down, down, down

                     G
She's on her way to nowhere
[Verse 3]
      G
He's working at the bar
And takes a later shift
   Em
A little drunk and far too young to end up just like this

        Am
When he takes her by the hand

C
She does not resist

        G                D
They're on their way to nowhere because nowhere sure beats this
[Chorus]
      G
She's tryna go the distance, now she's got a little love

   D
A little makes a difference, even if it's not enough

    Am
The chocolate bars and magazines, just leave 'em on the shelf

             C     G     D
And put 'em down, down, down
She's on her way
G
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up

      D
They drive home at 11 to smoke cigarettes and stuff

    Am                                                         C     G     D
The DVDs and memories, you keep them to yourself from the way down, down, down

                         G
They're on their way to nowhere
