Capo on 1st fret
(all chords relative to capo)

         verse 1
 Bm     E     G     Eb
When she was 22 the future looked bright
 Bm     E     G          Eb Gb
But she’s nearly 30 now and she’s out every night
 Bm     E       G          Eb
I see that look in her face she’s got that look in her eye
 Bm          E       G    Eb Gb
She’s thinking how did I get here and wondering why

      chorus
 Em        D         A
It’s sad but it’s true how society says
          G
Her life is already over
 Em        D             A
There’s nothing to do and there’s nothing to say
 Em        D              A
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his
  G
 shoulder
 Em       D           A
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

        verse 2
 Bm     E     G       Eb
She’s got an alright job but it’s not a career
 Bm     E         G     Eb  Gb
Whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears
 Bm          E
Cause all she wants is a boyfriend
 G         Eb
She gets one-night stands
 Bm           E
She’s thinking how did I get here
     G    Eb Gb
I’m doing all that I can

         chorus
 Em        D        A
It’s sad but it’s true how society says
          G
Her life is already over
 Em         D           A
There’s nothing to do and there’s nothing to say
 Em         D             A
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his
   G
 shoulder
 Em        D         A
