She gave her heart and soul to you  You gave her only broken dreams 
E                                                            A

All your life that's how it's been  Looking out for number one 
E                     B                            E   A E 
Taking more than you give  Movin' on when you're done 
E                           A                        E 
With her you could have it all  A family enough to last
