Tom: C
C F 4x
[Verse 1]
G*
She's leaving everything she knows
C F C F
And she's headed for the coast
G*
Just a beat up old guitar
C F C F
And whatever she could fit into her car
[Chorus]
G
Frightened and excited
F
Never been out on her own
C G
But she's been waiting for this day
Dm C F
Ain't that just the way the story goes
F* C F C F
She's gonna make it in A
[Verse 2]
G*
Mom and Dad don't understand
C F C F
This is not what they had planned
G*
But there just ain't no compromise
C F C F
To a girl with starry eyes
[Chorus]
G F
And it's not easy trading country life
C G
For a chance to make a name
Dm C F
But ain't that just the way the story goes
F* C F C F
She's gonna make it in A
[Bridge]
Am G
Sometimes she misses those quiet moonlit nights
F
And she has trouble sleeping
C
Beneath the neon lights
F
I guess it's worth it
G G*
I guess it's worth the sacrifice
C F C F 2x
Yeaaaah
[Verse 3]
G*
Now, she's been serving beers
C F C F
For oh so many years
G
And she hears familiar schemes
C F C F
Brand new faces, same ol' dreams, yeah
[Chorus]
G
And to this very day
F
She never misses open calls
C G
Even though she's turning grey
Dm C F
And ain't that just the way the story goes
F G Am
And ain't that just the way the story goes
Dm C F
And ain't that just the way the story goes
F C F C F
She's gonna make it in A
C F C F
Yeah
C F C F
In A
[Outro]
C F 2x
C F C F
That's just the way it is
C F C F G C
Some things will never change
