By Guy Clark Written by Guy Clark & Rodney Crowell Album: The South Coast Of Texas (1981) [Intro] D G D G D [Chorus]
        D         G             D     G D
She’s a melody in search of the words I love you

        A                        D
She’s a rose with  no room to grow

        D            G          D  G       D
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine

          A                   D
She’s the partner that nobody chose
[Verse 1]
          A                               G                D
Oh, she’s tried and she’s tried and she’s tried to keep on tryin’

    A                           D
But every thing she tried fell apart

         A                               G               D
Oh she's loved and she's loved and she'd love to keep on lovin

    A                             D
But every man she loved broke her heart
[Chorus]
        D         G             D     G D
She’s a melody in search of the words I love you

        A                        D
She’s a rose with  no room to grow

        D            G          D  G       D
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine

          A                   D
She’s the partner that nobody chose
[Verse 3]
  A                               G                D
Oh she’s fallen and stumbled and stumbled and fallen

    A                           D
And no one picked her up when she fell

   A                               G               D
She’s stood up with hope up that someone would show up

  A                      D
Someday you never can tell
[Chorus]
        D         G             D     G D
She’s a melody in search of the words I love you

        A                              D
She’s a rose with rose with no room to grow

        D            G          D  G       D
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine

          A                   D
She’s the partner that nobody chose
