Verse 1
G G C D
She stepped off the bus out… into the city streets…
G G
Just a small town girl with her whole life packed in a
C D
suitcase by her feet…
G G
but somehow the lights didn’t shine as bright as they
C D
did… on her mama’s TV screen…
G G
and the work seemed harder and the days seemed
C D
longer… than she ever thought they’d be…
Pre Chorus 1
Em Em
but you know you got to stick
D D
to your guns when it all comes down…
C C
‘cause sometimes you can’t choose…
D D
It’s like ‘Heads’ they win… ‘Tails’ you’re gonna lose…
Refrain
G G
Win big… mama’s fallen
C D
angel-lll-lll… Lose big… livin’ out her lies…
G G
Wants it all… mama’s fallen
C D
angel-lll-lll… Lose it all… rollin’ the dice of her
G G
life…
Verse 2
G G
Now she found herself in the fast lane livin’ day to
C D
day…
G G
Turned her back on her best friends yeah…
C D
and let her family slip away…
G G
Just like a lost soul caught up in the Hollywood
C D
scene… All the parties and the
G G
limousines… Such a good actress hiding all her
C D
pain… Trading her mem’ries for fortune and fame…
Pre Chorus 2
Em Em
Just a step-ppp away
D D
from the edge of a fall…
C C
Caught between heaven and hell…
D D
Where’s the girl… I knew a year ago…

life… Too much too soon
D D
or just a little too late…

‘cause when her ship came in…

She wasn’t there… and it just wouldn’t wait…
