Little Sister

G C G Am D C G

[Verse 1]
G                     C                G
Little boy's supposed to do what he's told
G                         C           G
Little girl's supposed to polish her toes
F                                    C                     G
Maybe they're together when they're older and they're all grown out
G                         C           G
Daddy's supposed to put bread on the table
G                      C          G
Daddy's gone and your mama ain't able
F                       C                  G
Are you hungry when the money's all run out?

[Chorus]
D7
Tell me little dear if you only lived here
         C                   G
Did you really ever live at all
       D7
Cause you'd be amazed in the summer of a daze
          C               G
And the spring turn into fall
      Am
Just listen to your brother
        Em                       G                  Em
You can run in the cover of the night sky when it falls
    C                               D
I know that you think that you're growing
                 G
But you're just tall

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
    G                        C           G
A really pretty girl in a really small town
 G                            C            G
Easy to believe you that you never settle down
 F                            C             G
Mama told your mama just the same not long ago
 G                    C              G
You want a baby, the same as your friends
 G                                C           G
Ring will find your finger, and your story will end
F                                  C                 G
You'll be lookin' 'round, wonder where did the time go?

[Chorus]
D7
Tell me little dear if you only lived here
         C                   G
Did you really ever live at all
       D7
Cause you'd be amazed in the summer of a daze
          C               G
And the spring turn into fall
      Am
Just listen to your brother
        Em                       G                  Em
You can run in the cover of the night sky when it falls
    C                               D
I know that you think that you're growing
                 G
But you're just tall

[Bridge]
Am   D
Woah-oh
Am         Em        C
Don't you think I'd know
Am                Em                 G
There never was a red light in our town
Am   D
Woah-oh
Am        F              C
I hate to say I told you so
        Am               G
But you gotta go right now

[Chorus]
D7
Tell me little dear if you only lived here
         C                   G
Did you really ever live at all

But you're just tall
