She might have been a ^Gnice girl If she hadn't had a ^Gsus4/Adraggy mother She might have been a ^Ggood chick If she hadn't had a ^Gsus4/Arotten father She might have played the ^Gright hunch If she hadn't been so ^Gsus4/Anarrow-minded She might have had a ^Gwhole bunch If she hadn't been so ^Gsus4/Afar behind it

Oh does it ^Fhurt when you know You can't ^Cplay it the way that your ^Gbeau knows Oh does it ^Fhurt when you know You can't ^Csay it the way that your ^Gbeau knows And you ^Fknow that that's the ^Cway that the ^Gshow goes And you ^Amknow it really has to go ^Emon

She drank the army's ^Gred wine But she never found a ^Gsus4/Amoment's pleasure She smelled the salty ^Gsea brine But she never found the ^Gsus4/Aburied treasure She might have played the ^Gchords right But the song was never ^Gsus4/Ameant for singing She might have really ^Gbroke loose But she never made it ^Gsus4/Apast the clinging

I can see that it ^Fhurts when you know You can't ^Cplay it the way that your ^Gbeau knows I can see that it ^Fhurts when you know You can't ^Csay it the way that your ^Gbeau knows And you ^Fknow that that's the ^Cway that the ^Gshow goes And you ^Amknow it really has to go ^Emon
