*** Verse: 1

Em              D/F#           G     C

We've known her ever since she was a kid

          Em        D          C         G

she was the kind of girl who repeats her mistakes

Em          D/F#         G        C

Her parents never minded what she did

         Em       D         C           G

She was a fallen angel with dirt on her face

Am         G/B           C          D

But past a certain point she stayed behind

Am         G/B           C         D

the two of us could never read her mind

Am          G/B             C       D

the million ways she had of killing time



*** Chorus:

   Em      D    C

So we just gave up

   Em      D    C

yeah we just gave up

        Em            D

'cause sometimes, you know

        C         G

there's limits to love

C  G  C  G





*** Verse 2:

We'd get impatient with her now and then                Em  D/F#  G   C

oh, she'd smile and say, `now you're not being nice.'   Em  D     C   G

I guess her definition of a friend                      Em  D/F#  G   C

was someone long on love, and short on advice           Em  D     C   G

We gave her money but the money's bad                   Am  G/B   C   D

She took the dollars and just tore them in half         Am  G/B   C   D

We got so angry, we just had to laugh                   Am  G/B   C   D



*** Chorus:

but we still gave up                         Em  D   C

yeah we still gave up                        Em  D   C

'cause sometimes, you know                   Em  D

there's limits to love                       C   G   |  C G |  C  G

** Verse 3:

She'll get in trouble but she will scrape through      Em  D/F#   G   C

oh, she's the kind of girl who can always find help    Em  D      C   G

I'd say she's stupid, but it'd be untrue               Em  D/F#   G   C

oh, you've got to be smart if you're fooling yourself  Em  D      C   G

We tried to love her, but our love unwound             Am  G/B    C   D

	(so our love was weak)

We talked about her when she wasn't around             Am  G/B    C   D

	(so our talk was cheap)

and still we felt that we were letting her down        Am  G/B    C   D



*** Chorus:

'cause we just gave up                     Em   D   C

yeah we just gave up                       Em   D   C

'cause sometimes, you know                 Em   D

there's limits to love                     C    G



Sometimes you know                         Em   D

there's limits to love                     C    G
