[Intro 1]
[Em][A][G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
She [D]always
bought the lawn,
the broken [G]glass, the hard[D]wood floors
She lit a [A]cigarette
and laughed on the [G]day
that we [D]lost the war
She was a daddy's little angel
in that cotton [G]candy [D]dress
And then she [A]whispered
that she loved me
Just to [G]keep my heart [D]at rest
But she [Em]barely ever smiles
At least that [A]I had ever seen
She [G]cries, this old town [D]is busted
We got no [A]room for hope [D]or dreams
But me, I was just an orphan
passin' through [G]southern [D]town
She put a [A]bottle in my way,
but she knew [G]that I'd [D]stick around
And her daddy never liked me,
but he [G]got me back [D]to work
A couple of dol[A]lars in my pocket
and [G]a stamp on my [D]shirt
Now I [Em]rarely ever smile,
at least it's [A]hard to never see
I cry [G]this old town [D]is busted,
got no [A]room for hope [D]or
[Em]dream[A][G][D]
[A][D]
She kept a little picture
set by her [G]bed in a golden [D]frame
Where [A]she kissed it every night
and every [G]mornin' [D]just the same
They say she looks like a mother
Standing [G]there in the pale moon[D]light
But she keeps her [A]eyes down to the floor
Just pray[G]ing they were [D]right
And she [Em]tries hard not to smile
So that [A]nobody could see
She [G]cries, this old town is [D]busted
You got [A]no room for hope [D]or dreams

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
So she [D]told me to come here
Where the [G]neons are [D]burning so thin
Won't you [A]bring everything you own
Before you're leav[G]ing this town [D]again
But her daddy was the wiser
To our sim[G]ple [D]two -bit plan
And [A]he met me on the corner
Had a pis[G]tol in [D]his hand
And he [Em]had the biggest smile
Least that [A]I had ever seen
He cried, [G]this whole town [D]is busted,
you got [A]no room for hope [D]or dream
Well he [Em]had the biggest smile
on his face that [A]I had ever seen
He said, [G]your whole [D]plan is busted,
you're gonna [A]die tonight it seem[D]s
