intro:    A     D    E   D   C#  A  
[A] She followed the man she loved
 All the way to New Or [D] leans
 She [E] come back broken [B] hearted and [D] mean
[A] She tried to escape the pain
 But sometimes it's all that's [D] real
 It's [E] no excuse for living [B] pain free, that's the [D] deal
It's a [A] bitch, [E] ain't it [D] babe
 To [A] live [E] while you're [D] young
 I'm [Bm] crushed that the world turned [D] over so soon  [A]
A pile of old memories
 Just lying all aroud
 Seems like everywhere I look I've fallen to the ground
And I can't help it if it's over babe
 You can't help it, though you tried
 Your poor little soul is wearing pretty thin
It's a bitch, ain't it babe
 To live while you're young
 I'm crushed that the world turned over so soon
