[Intro]
G
[Verse]
C
She’s got three kids and no husband
G
She’s two weeks late on last month’s rent
G
She’s waiting on child support, he keeps swearing that it’s coming
C G
But if she knows him, she knows where it went
D C G
And those bills ain’t gonna pay themselves
[Verse]
G
It’s been a forty hour week and it’s only Tuesday
C G
And there’s homework and dinner to make
G
And somebody wants a lullaby, somebody wants a different channel
C G
Somebody’s dealing with their first heartbreak
D C G
Those dishes in the sink ain’t gonna wash themselves
[Bridge]
C G
She lights a cigarette out on the balcony
Em C
When she gets a couple minutes to herself
G
There’s how you plan it out and how it turns out to be
Em G
And a broken home ain’t no fairytale
[Verse]
G
She’s got three kids and no husband
C G
And a hairnet job at a diner down on Main
G
She knows damn well she don’t make the best cup of coffee
C G
But she’s quick with a smile and she's good at names
D C G
But those lunch tickets ain’t gonna tip themselves
[Bridge]
C G
She smokes a cigarette out by the loading dock
Em C
And tries not to pick the polish off her nails
G
She’s thinking about a guy who’s been coming in a lot
Em G
She starts to dream and then she stops herself
[Verse]
G
She’s got three kids and no husband
C
She’s a mom and a dad and a taxi driver
G
When the baby’s sick she’s an up-all-nighter
G
A hand and a shoulder and a referee
G
A real life hero, if you ask me
D C G
And those kids ain’t gonna raise themselves
