Em d   c	 g



*** 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 sometimesyou 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

Ohshe'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 loveand 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 angrywe just had to laugh 		 am g/b  c	d

** verse 3:

She'll get in trouble but she will scrape through	  em d/f#  g  c

Ohshe's the kind of girl who can always find help  em d   c  g

I'd say she's stupidbut it'd be untrue		   em d/f#	g  c

Ohyou've got to be smart if you're fooling yourself em d	 c  g

We tried to love herbut 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
