[Intro] C F x2 [Verse 1]

C
Someday they'll find our small town world,

On a big town avenue,

F
Gonna make you like the way they talk,

When they're talking to you,

C
Gonna make you break out of your shell,

Cuz they tell you to,

F
Gonna make you like the way they lie,

Better than the truth,

Am 
They'll tell you everything, 

G
You wanted someone else to say, 

F
They're gonna break your heart.

[Chorus]

               C
From what I've seen, 

            G                 Dm
You're just one more hand me down, 

    F
But no one's tried to give you, 

          C
What you need, 

      G                Am
Lay all your troubles down, 

      F
I am with you now.

[Verse 2]

C
Somebody oughta take you in,

Try to make you love again,

F
Try to make you like the way they feel,

When they're under you skin.

C
Never once to you think that they would lie,

When they're holding you,

F
You wonder why they havn't called,

When they said they'd call you,

Am
You start to wonder, 

G
If you're ever gonna make it by, 

F
You'll start to think,

You were born blind. [Chorus]

               C
From what I've seen, 

            G                 Dm
You're just one more hand me down,

Lay all your troubles down, 

      F
I am with you now.

I'm here for the hard times, 

                   E
The straight to your heart times, 

                 C
When living ain't easy

       D
You can stand up against me, 

          F
And maybe rely on me and 

G    F
Cry on me, yeah

Lay all your troubles down, 

      F
I am with you now.
