verse 1
G
She's on her way to work
Her heart is wearing thin
Em
The tattoos leave a mark
From everywhere she's been
Am
Cause she's never in one place
C
She takes it on the chin
G
Now tears are welling up
And they are rushing down her skin
Am
While she's pushing trough the door
C
She hides behind a grin
G
But no one really knows
How sad she feels within
Am C G
Oh, oh
Am C G D
Life goes on, put a sad song on
Chorus
G
She's tryna go the distance, but she's running out of love
D
It doesn't make a difference, no it's never quite enough
Am
Buys chocolate bars and magazines, the things that make her smile
C G D
But she falls down, down, down
She's on her way
G
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up
D
She goes home at 11 with her coat all buttoned up
Am
Buys cigarettes and DVDs, the thing that make her smile
C G D
But she falls down, down, down
G
She's on her way to nowhere
verse 2
G
Driving in the rain to her house right up the road
Em
Her name is on the mailbox but it never feels like home
Am C
When she's climbing into bed, you know, she's climbing all alone
G
When she's climbing into bed
She's climbing on her own
Am C G
Oh, oh
Am C G D
Life goes on, put a sad song on
Chorus
G
She's tryna go the distance, but she's running out of love
D
It doesn't make a difference, no it's never quite enough
Am
Buys chocolate bars and magazines, the things that make her smile
C G D
But she falls down, down, down
She's on her way
G
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up
D
She goes home at 11 with her coat all buttoned up
Am
Buys cigarettes and DVDs, the thing that make her smile
C G D
But she falls down, down, down
G
She's on her way to nowhere
verse 3
G
He's working at the bar
And takes a later shift
Em
A little drunk and far too young to end up just like this
Am
When he takes her by the hand
C
She does not resist
G D
They're on their way to nowhere because nowhere sure beats this
Chorus
G
She's tryna go the distance, now she's got a little love
D
A little makes a difference, even if it's not enough
Am
The chocolate bars and magazines, just leave 'em on the shelf
C G D
And put 'em down, down, down
She's on her way
G
Back to work at 7, when the morning sun is up
D
They drive home at 11 to smoke cigarettes and stuff
Am C G D
The DVDs and memories, you keep them to yourself from the way down, down, down
G
They're on their way to nowhere
