[Intro ]
E Aadd9   Badd11   Aadd9   

Note: While playing E he occasionally puts 
his pinky on the 2nd fret on the 3rd string. 



[Verso 1]
 
E 
Krissy's got a real big crush 
   E 
He stands real tall and acts real tough 
      Aadd9   
Ain't nothing real about high school love 
Till baby came too soon 
           Badd11   
'Cause she didn't plan on marrying 
   Aadd9   
At nineteen 
                           E 
But she don't know what to do 

    E 
Her mama told her, "Listen, dear 
    E 
You don't got any options here 
   Aadd9   
So sleep in that dirt bed that you have made" 
       Badd11   
So she shut her mouth and turned around 
       Aadd9                              E 
'Cause she don't even know what she could say 
 


[Verso 2]
 
     E 
Well back home Krissy's man is drunk 
       E 
And he gets real mean when he's fucked up 
    Aadd9   
But what would she give up to save a child? 
     Badd11   
That house is getting cold 
         Aadd9                       E 
And only living Krissy knows is just survival 

     E 
Til' one day he came home again 
And wrapped his hands around her neck 
   Aadd9   
So late at night she up and left 
And took baby along with her 
    Badd11                         Aadd9   
And now she's got to learn to live again 
                                E 
While they're all calling her a quitter 
 


[Refrão]
 
     A 
This life is just a drunken dream 
And liquor flows like kerosene 
   E 
It lights you up and slowly burns you out 
     A 
Some people live for someone else 
And don't know how to cry for help 
    E                               Badd11   
And they're waking up all but broken down 
                     Aadd9             E 
But they would never say that shit out loud

[Verso 3]
 
    E 
One day her own angel came 
    E 
And took 'em both under his wings 
Aadd9   
Taught 'em both what love is supposed to be 
       Badd11                           Aadd9   
It was rolling fields of gold and yellow roses 
                        E 
For as far as she could see 

    E 
And they both made a brand new boy 
    E 
Who grew up fast and found his voice 
    Aadd9   
And when he left his mama, she stayed silent 
        Badd11   
But her head was getting loud 
        Aadd9                                 E 
And she never thought the house would be this quiet

   A 
This life is just a drunken dream 
And liquor flows like kerosene 
   E 
It lights you up and slowly burns you out 
     A 
Some people live for someone else 
And don't know how to cry for help 
    E                               Badd11   
And they're waking up all but broken down 
                     Aadd9             E 
But they would never say that shit out loud 
 


[Verso 4]
 
     E 
Well Krissy got a call again 
    E 
And learned her high school crush was dead 
     Aadd9   
He'd gone and wrapped his car around a tree 
       Badd11   
And as much as she'd like to forget 
   Aadd9                            E 
It hurt real bad, that boy was family 

    E 
Now Krissy's kids are all grown up 
     E 
They stand real tall and act real tough 
      Aadd9   
While she's at home still dreaming of 
What she's gonna be when she grows up 
     Badd11   
It's her she's got to learn to love 
  Aadd9   
A mother's all she ever was 
     Badd11   
It's her she's got to learn to love 
  Aadd9   
A mother's all she ever was
