Intro: G Cadd9 x 2


G               Cadd9
She was born on broken ground
G                 Cadd9
In the heart of a midwest town
G             Cadd9
Fenced in by fields of dreams
    Em         D
and shadows of doubt

G                Cadd9
A white house on Jackson street
G             Cadd9
Memorized John 3:16
G             Cadd9
Coming up on seventeen
        Em        D
Looking for a way out




C   G                            C   G
Jenny, I could love you if you’d let me
                             C 
I know your world’s a little heavy
    G              D
But maybe we could go back to the start
              C    G
Just like that one time
                       C   G
Tellin’ secrets in the sunshine
                         C             G
Whatever happened to the light in your eyes,
         D
now it’s dark.
                          C    G    D
Why does love gotta be so hard?



G                 Cadd9
Quick stop at the Texaco
G                          Cadd9
On vinyl seats down an old backroad
G                   Cadd9
With a boy that she barely knows,
     Em           D
She lays down her soul





C   G                            C   G
Jenny, I could love you if you’d let me

Gotta be so hard

Weeds have grown high now
    Em
The wind shakes the roof
        Cadd9
But the light in the west
     D
It’s comin’ up for you
