CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:   G    Am    G    Am  C  
GDifferent and good, Deasy to please
A Emcheerleader's Dskirt on the Cbackseat
A Dchildhood worth forGgetting
Her Dtwenties damn deGpressing
She Ceyes another age
She Dturns another Gpage
CHORUS:
You Cchange your Gname
You Ddon't stay Gthe Emsame
So it's Cheartbreak toGnight
And Ctomorrow's new beGginnings
It's Csupper on the stove
And a Amgambler's Dwinnings
GRaised on the farm, raised on DEnjoli
Raised on Emje ne sais Dpas and some Cjoie de vivre
DNow for the Gfirst time
The Dend is in Gsight
You Dgive me your traGditions
I'll Dhand off my amGbitions
'Cause it fAeels so Dright
CHORUS:
You Cchange your Gname
You Ddon't stay Gthe Emsame
So it's Cheartbreak toGnight
And Ctomorrow's new beGginnings
It's Csupper on the stove
And a Amgambler's Dwinnings
INSTRUMENTAL:    G    Am   C     G    Am   C     G    Am   C     G     Am  G  
It was when you forgot to Dfeel like a fool
Or Emnotice if Dthey were Cwatching you
DLooking so Ggood
In Dfront of that Gmirror
But Cliving in the back room
You Dbegin to disapGpear
CHORUS:
You Cchange your Gname
You Ddon't stay Gthe Emsame
So it's Cheartbreak toGnight
And Ctomorrow's new beGginnings
It's Csupper on the stove
And a Amgambler's Dwinnings
Her Cwinnings
