i couldn't stand being wrong anymore and the acoustic version has more stuff 
going on. it's easier than it looks.

                 intro

G D Em D Gb


                 verse 1
 Bm          E          G          D   Gb
When she was 22 the future looked bright
 Bm          E                       G  D  Em  D Gb
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
 Bm          E              G                    D       Gb
I see that look in her face she's got that look in her eye
 Bm                       E             G  D  Em   D
She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why

            chorus
 Em               D                 A
It's sad but it's true how society says
                    G
Her life is already over
 Em                D                         A
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
 Em                D                            A
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his
   G
 shoulder
 Em             D                     A
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

               verse 2
  Bm          E          G             D     Gb
She's got an alright job but it's not a career
  Bm          E                      G  D  Em  D Gb
Whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears
  Bm                    E             
Cause all she wants is a boyfriend
  G                 D Gb
She gets one-night stands
  Bm                      E
She's thinking how did I get here
            G  D  Em   D 
I'm doing all that I can

                  chorus
 Em                D                A           
It's sad but it's true how society says
                    G
Her life is already over
 Em                 D                      A
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
 Em                 D                         A 
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his
     G
 shoulder
 Em                D                 A
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

              chorus
 Em                D                A
It's sad but it's true how society says
                     G
Her life is already over
 Em                 D                        A
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
 Em                 D                         A 
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his
      G
 shoulder
 Em              D                   A     Em
It seems so unlikely in this day and age
