D Bm
she tells me love is like a train
G
and she keeps falling off again
D A
I guess she's sick of being left behind
D Bm
she says this story's all the same
G
so full of circumstance and shame
D A
I guess she's sick of watching life pass by
D Bm
I said what keeps you going?
G D
what keeps you waking up?
G Bm
she just smiles and shrugs her shoulders and says
D A
you know, it's not so tough
D A Bm G
'cause if there's one thing in life that I've learned so far
D A Bm G
it's that we're all a little stronger than we think we are
D A
and you bend a little farther
D A G
or you can stay just how you are
A
just how you are
D Bm
she says there must be more than this
G
I work two jobs to feed two kids
D A
and it's been two months since he left without goodbye
D
I've still got bills to pay
Bm G
the world feels heavier every day, it's only
D A
getting harder for me just to try
D Bm
I said what keeps you going?
G D
what keeps you waking up?
G Bm
she just smiles and shrugs her shoulders and says
D A
you know, it's not so tough
D A Bm G
'cause if there's one thing in life that I've learned so far
D A Bm G
it's that we're all a little stronger than we think we are
D A
and you bend a little farther
D A G
or you can stay just how you are
A
just how you are
[instrumental bit that I'm too lazy to tab at the moment, sorry]
D Bm
she said I'm trying to have faith
G
but even food has lost its taste
D A
my greatest fear is I'll be left here all alone
D Bm
she said I miss him every day
G
all I can do is pray they're safe
D A
reliving memories, oh we used to call this home
D Bm
she said Sammy, I need something
G D
just for once in my life
G Bm
I need someone else to tell me
D A
everything will be all right
D A Bm G
I said there's one thing in life that I've learned so far
D A Bm G
it's that we're all a little stronger than we think we are
D A
and you bend a little farther
D A G
but just remember who you are
A
oh who you are
Bm
who you are
A D
who you are
