Amelia

   C                 F                   C
My name is Amelia, I used to be a pretty girl
    F
Got married cause it was time
   C
No reason to finish school
He didn't know how to be kind
       F.             C
I just took it on the chin
F
Never did learn to fight him
        C
Gave up everything for him

Now the kids are all long gone
F            C
Busy and far away
      F
Never found much for myself out there
C
So it's here I stay
But I've got a little money
     F               C
I've hid around this home
    F
Too old to spend it now
                   C
It's just a little something of my own

           Am            F            C
This is my story like so many girls before
             F                  G         C
Just another story that doesn't matter anymore

                                   F                C
Ah, there's a pretty little girl I see from time to time
F                                      C
Got her picture here next to me, see myself in her sometimes
She holds on to what is hers
          F                    C
She's got nothing she needs to hide
    F
She gives it away when she wants to
    C
And this one knows how to fight

The world outside the room
     F                   C
Is a place she calls her own
    F
My story is almost over
         C
Hers has just begun
I slip her a few dollars
     F          C
When nobody can see
         F
A little something of my own
     C
For that sweet girl from me

           Am            F          C
This is my story like so many girls before
             F                  G         C
Just another story that doesn't matter anymore

My story is almost over
Am              C
Hers has just begun
      F         G        C
She's telling it to everyone
