[Verse 1]
He was young [C]once more [Em]than bones and [G]blood
Now he's shaky with a li[C]ars [Em]face[G]
He was [C]empty except [Em]for whiskey
[G]Said he loved it but[C] he hates the[Em] taste
[G]She was home sick,
[C]had a n[Em]ervous tic[G]k
Liked to grow but was [C]afraid [Em]of change
[G]She was stuck the[C]re, found a h[Em]ome where
[G]The family showed up so she
could[C]n't [Em]stay[G][C]

[Verse 2]
I get [G]nervous [Em]and I'm often sick
[G]Thi[C]s is where we were lead[G][C]
I heard they're [G]living
hand [Em]to mouth [G]now
[C]Well at least they get fed[G]
It [D]helps her when she weeps

[Verse 3]
He was held [C]up,
it's hard [Em]to tell [G]but
He looked better with his
young[C]er face[Em]
[G]She was stuck there,
[C]she needed a b[Em]us fare
[G]Someone to help her out[D] and
[C]count [Em]her change
[G]To him she's beautiful,
[C]her movements mus[Em]ical
[G]He liked the way she spoke
of [C]time [Em]and space[G]
They were stuck there,
[C]they had blank sta[Em]res,
[G]But who am I to say that they
[C]should [Em]change[G][C]

[Verse 4]
I get [G]nervous [Em]and I'm often sick
[G]Thi[C]s is where we were lead[G][C]
I heard they're living hand
[Em]to mouth [G]now[C]
Well at least they [G]get fed
It [D]helps her when she weeps
She only seems to weep
[G]Only when I sing

[Verse 5]
I get [G]nervous [Em]and I'm often [G]sick[C]
This is where we [G]were lead[C]
I heard they're living hand
[Em]to mouth [G]now[C]
Well at least they [G]get fed[C]
I [G]get nervous and I'm [Em]often [G]sick
[C]This is where we wer[G]e lea[C]d
I heard they're liv[G]ing hand
[Em]to mouth [G]now[C]
Well at least they [G]get fed

[Verse 6]
It [D]helps her when she weeps
She only seems to weep
It helps her when she weeps
Only when I sing
