Verse 1

Someone's in the backyard
banging on the door

His baby's curled up on
a stranger's floor

Momma's thinking family dinners
D 
weren't too much to ask for

Verse 2
A 
Everybody here's got
Em 
a story to tell
G 
Everybody's been through
D 
their own hell
A 
There's nothing too special
G 
about getting hurt
But getting over it, that takes the work
D
