Hand Me Down

C
Someday they'll find our small town world,
On a big town avenue,
F
Gonna make you like the way they talk,
When they're talking to you,
C
Gonna make you break out of your shell,
Cuz they tell you to,
F
Gonna make you like the way they lie,
Better than the truth,
Am
They'll tell you everything,
G
You wanted someone else to say,
F
They're gonna break your heart.

[Chorus]

               C
From what I've seen,
            G                 Dm
You're just one more hand me down,
    F
But no one's tried to give you,
          C
What you need,
      G                Am
Lay all your troubles down,
      F
I am with you now.

[Verse 2]

C
Somebody oughta take you in,
Try to make you love again,
F
Try to make you like the way they feel,

When they're under you skin.
C
Never once to you think that they would lie,
When they're holding you,
F
You wonder why they havn't called,
When they said they'd call you,
Am
You start to wonder,
G
If you're ever gonna make it by,
F
You'll start to think,
You were born blind.

[Chorus]

               C
From what I've seen,
            G                 Dm
You're just one more hand me down,
    F
But no one's tried to give you,
          C
What you need,
      G                Am
Lay all your troubles down,
      F
I am with you now.

[Bridge]

                 Am
I'm here for the hard times,
                   E
The straight to your heart times,
                 C
When living ain't easy
       D
You can stand up against me,
          F
And maybe rely on me and
G    F
Cry on me, yeah

[Solo]

C  G  F

[Verse 3]

     C
Someday the'll open up your world,
     F
Shake it down to the very core,
     Am
Do their best to change you,
     F
They still can't erase you.

[Chorus]

               C
From what I've seen,
            G                 Dm
You're just one more hand me down,
    F
But no one's tried to give you,
          C
What you need,
      G                Am
Lay all your troubles down,
      F
I am with you now.
