[Intro]
 
G    Em  C  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
 G              Em     C             G          Em  C
Trouble is her only friend and he's back again
 G             Em   C         G         Em  C
Makes her body older than it really is
    G                            Em
And she says it's high time she went away
             C            G            Em  C
No one's got much to say in this town
 G              Em   C      G            D
Trouble is the only way is down, down, down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                  G
As strong as you were
             Em
Tender you go
                    Bm
I'm watching you breathing
               C
For the last time
                  G
A song for your heart
             Em
But when it is quiet
                    Bm
I know what it means
               C
And I'll carry you home
                  G
I'll carry you home
 
 
[Interlude]
 
G    Em  C  x2
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                            Em
If she had wings she would fly away
     C                   G              Em  C
And another day God will give her some
 G              Em   C      G            D
Trouble is the only way is down, down, down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                  G
As strong as you were
             Em
Tender you go
                            Bm              C*
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
                 G
A song for your heart
               Em
But when it is quiet
                 Bm
I know what it means
               C*
I'll carry you home
                G
I'll carry you home
 
 
[Bridge]
 
  C                       G
And they're all born pretty
                       D
in New York City tonight
  C                      G                            D
And someone's little girl has been taken from the world tonight
          C     G    D
Under the stars and stripes
 
 
[Chorus] (x2)
 
                  G
As strong as you were
            Em
Tender you got
                         Bm                C
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
                   G
A song for your heart
               Em
But when it is quiet
                Bm
I know what it means
                     C
And I'll carry you home
 
                 G
I'll carry you home
 
 
[Outro]
 
(G)   Em  C
 G    Em  C  G
