[Verse 1]
Em Am D D7 G Sweet Manila Memphis took the taxi to south Texas and said Bobby sir, I don't have a home Em Am D7 G She worked three jobs for Mr. Hobbs, and now she's all alone
[Chorus]
G Life's not a game for everyone, D D7 She'll never lay beneath the sun C G until her last breath is gone G Success is something she'll never see, D D7 Like maternal love or a redwood tree C G And, she'll do it all on her own
C D G
[Verse 2]
Em Am Sweet Manila Memphis took the greyhound to east Texas D D7 G For an offer, she couldn't turn down Em Am It was higher pay, she'd only work the day D D7 G And get another job to work the night Em Am She met a man that she called Sam D D7 G Who could've been the love of her life
G Em Am D G
Em She didn't have time for Mister Sam, Am She let him go and made amends D D7 For all the time they had to spend apart Em Am D7 G Now Manila Memphis is a broke girl with a broken heart
[Chorus]
G Well life's not a game for everyone, D D7 She'll never lay beneath the sun C G until her last breath is gone G Success is something she'll never see, D D7 Like Mister Sam or a baby's glee C G And, she'll do it all on her own
