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
