Eb
Lovers that live far apart
Ab       Eb
Need one another

But only have their postcards
Abm        Ab      Fm
I guess it doesn't work like that

[Verse 2]
Eb
The pitcher of the baseball team
Ab           Eb
Traded in his jersey

Doesn't want to leave
Abm        Ab       Fm
I guess it doesn't work like that
Abm        Ab      Fm
I guess it doesn't work like that

[Verse 3]
Eb
A collar around a dog's neck
Ab       Eb
His only identity

And he has no say in it
Abm        Ab      Fm
I guess it doesn't work like that

[Verse 4]
Eb
My sister is a hard worker
Ab            Eb
She doesn't deserve to be behind the counter
Abm        Ab      Fm
I guess it doesn't work like that
Abm        Ab      Fm
I guess it doesn't work like that

[Verse 5]
Eb
I've seen my mother in pain
Ab              Eb
Begging for her mom to remember her name
Abm        Ab     Fm
I guess it doesn't work like that
Abm       Ab    Fm             Abm
It never really works like that
