The Way The Story Goes

C F 4x

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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

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
