C                                Em
It's her first night on the town  since she was just 18
  F                     G7
A lady down on love and out of hope and dreams
    C                         Em
The ties that once bound her  now are broken
    F                        G7              C
And she is like a baby  just learning how to play
 
                                  Em
She never thought that love could ever end so soon
    F                             G7
Her mind drifts back in time to a mid-summer moon
        C                        Em
When he ask her to marry and she gladly said o k
      F                         G7          C
And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday
 
            Em     F       C
Now she's a lady  down on love
             Em        F               C
She needs somebody  to gently pick her up
 Am           Em                 F         C
She's got her freedom  but she'd rather be bound
     F                       G7                C
To a man who would love her  and never let her down
 
                            Em
Well I know the lady that's down on her love
      F                       G7
Cause I used to hold her  and have that special touch
    C                  Em
But work took me away  from home late at nights
    F                    G7
And I wasn't there  when she turned out the lights
     C                          Em
Then both of us got lonely  and I gave into lust
    F                              G7               C
And she just couldn't live  with a man she couldn't trust
