[INTRO]
Em    C   Em
 
 
[VERSE]
Em
She was waiting alone at the station praying for her train to arrive
C                                   Em
Thinking 'bout her destination, the tattered bag had all she had in life
 
She turned her back on her family,  she turned her back on her friends
C                                          Em
She turned her back on a married man when she took off that wedding band
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
              C      G
She said, I'm giving up, silver clouds have turned to grey
Em       C          D
Had enough, there's got to be a better way
Em      C   G
Giving up, you know you've gotta walk
       F                                G
There's some things in life still worth fighting for
 
 
 
[CHORUS]
C                         F          C
Ain't no big secret so forget all you heard
Am         C              F          C
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
C                         F                  C
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse
Am         C              F           C
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Am                G          Em
Love aint' nothing...
 
 
[VERSE]
Em
This time he said was the last time, last time he said just the same
        C
In your heart you know that they'll be a next time
          Em
That your battered bones would have to explain
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
         C  G
Givein' up, nothing's changing but the score
Em      C    D
Had enough, every night love turns to war
Em      C   G
Give it up, gave it all and wanted more
F                      G
It ain't nothing worth dying for
 
 
 
[CHORUS]
C                        F            C
It's no big secret so forget all you heard
Am         C             F           C
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
    C                         F            C
For some it's a blessing, for some it's a curse
Am          C            F          C
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Am          G
Love ain't nothing...
 
 
[BRIDGE]
Dm                              C
Forget your mama's rosary beads to get you through this time of need
Am                           Am/G
You know you gotta cross that line
              F             G
You take it one day at a time
 
 
[SOLO]
G   Em     2x
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
    C           G
Had enough, the silver clouds all turning grey
F                G
I'm heading for a better day
