She was ^Calmost out of high school when ^Gshe left home Got a ^Emjob in an office, she ^Canswered the phone Her ^Cboss was a creep, he wouldn’t ^Gleave her alone She had to ^Dgo

[Verse]

^CMiddle of that mess she met a ^Gfine young man They ^Emrolled into Houston in a ^CChevrolet van Lou^Cisiana tags, a ^Gbeautiful band of ^Dgold

[Verse]

They ^Ccarried each other^G so long But they ^Emdrifted apart never ^Creally went wrong ^CMarried too young ^Gboth moved along C’est la ^Dvie

[Verse]

She ^Cstarts every day ^G just fine Then she ^Emhears that voice same ^Cplace same time Her ^Cmother is in the mirror with the ^Gsame old lines to ^Dsay

[Chorus]

She says, ‘^Cyou know better baby,^G say grace ^EmDon’t even try, you can’t ^Ctake your brother’s place ^CDon’t even try, don’t ^Ggive me that ^Dface any ^Gmore

[Instrumental] C G C G [Verse]

So ^Cwhere does the time go, there’s g^Gray in her hair She sits ^Emat her dressing table, in a ^Cwrought iron chair Wears a ^Cterry cloth ^Grobe with a tear when she’s a^Dlone

[Verse]

The ^CTV says war in the ^Gholy land She ^Emlooks at the wrinkles on the ^Cback of her hand ^CRubs her finger where she ^Gwore a wedding band She looks a^Dway

[Instrumental] C G Em C C G D [Verse]

Precious ^CSavior She re^Gmembers a hymn it is a ^Emhymn she never liked She ^Cgoes to the gym goes to ^Cwork ^GDinner with a friend falls asleep With the TV ^Don

[Chorus]

^CYou know better baby,^G say grace ^EmDon’t even try, you can’t ^Ctake your brother’s place ^CDon’t even try, don’t ^Ggive me that ^Dface any ^Gmore

[Outro)

^C Say grace baby ^Gyou know how ^EmAll these years ^C even now Stand up ^Gmother take a bow Cause ^Gyou still ^Dmake her ^Ccry
