Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
C F C
My name is Amelia, I used to be a pretty girl
F
Got married cause it was time
C
No reason to finish school
He didn't know how to be kind
F. C
I just took it on the chin
F
Never did learn to fight him
C
Gave up everything for him
[Verse 2]
Now the kids are all long gone
F C
Busy and far away
F
Never found much for myself out there
C
So it's here I stay
But I've got a little money
F C
I've hid around this home
F
Too old to spend it now
C
It's just a little something of my own
[Chorus]
Am F C
This is my story like so many girls before
F G C
Just another story that doesn't matter anymore
[Verse 3]
F C
Ah, there's a pretty little girl I see from time to time
F C
Got her picture here next to me, see myself in her sometimes
She holds on to what is hers
F C
She's got nothing she needs to hide
F
She gives it away when she wants to
C
And this one knows how to fight
[Verse 4]
The world outside the room
F C
Is a place she calls her own
F
My story is almost over
C
Hers has just begun
I slip her a few dollars
F C
When nobody can see
F
A little something of my own
C
For that sweet girl from me
[Chorus]
Am F C
This is my story like so many girls before
F G C
Just another story that doesn't matter anymore
[Outro]
My story is almost over
Am C
Hers has just begun
F G C
She's telling it to everyone
