And there she falls
                                                             C      Am
She was sitting really nice with a head full of advice from friends
            F
She walks around
                                                     C     Am
She tries to rearrange but everything goes under her bed
         F
And it's countless
                                                 C      Am
She's got a jar full of change saved up for vacation
          F
And she's watching
                                                    C
She's watching her sons growing up just like their mom
          Am
And it's hard
           F
But I say Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
     G
You gotta start lifting your
C                 Am
Head up, Head up, Head up
           F
And I say Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
             G
I know it's hard but you gotta get
C                        Am
Out of Bed, Out of Bed, Out of Bed
          F
Yeah she don't know what to do,
          Dm
She's got everything but nothing to lose

          F
She got a call from a guy
                        C         Am
Just seeing if she's alright,
     F
Yeah she's got a face full of tears
                              C     Am
held back by the strength of five.
               F
And she says happiness ain't free
G
Everybody fights just like me
    C                              Am
But I've given up the ability to retreat.
           F
But I say Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
      G
You gotta start lifting your
C                  Am
Head up, Head up, Head up
          F
And I say Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
             G
I know it's hard but you gotta get
C                       Am
Out of Bed, Out of Bed, Out of Bed
          F (strum once)
Yeah she don't know what to do,
           Dm
She's got everything but nothing to lose

I'm here and I am here.
             F
Yeah you've got time to figure it out,

I'm here so don't be scared.
