Sally played guitar
A                     B
Down in all the local bars
B                        E
She dreamed of making it big
A                        B
But Sally never got that far
G#m          F#         E
Sally writes songs that nobody hears
    A               E
But somehow that's ok

Jimmy got good grades
A                           B
Now he works nights and Saturdays
B                      E
He always followed the rules
A                             B
But it turns out that doesn't pay
G#m           F#        E
Jimmy doesn't know what he's gonna do
       A                         E
But he knows he can't go on this way
G               F#   E  D
And though they may not carry weight
      E        B
Jimmy got good grades

Sally takes the stage and

She lets the whole world know

She fights her own fights

She's not the kind of girl that's
B             F#
Afraid to be alone

At the top of the stairs
B              A
In his room at night

He has adventures
E
When there's nobody there
B                 F#
He reads by candlelight
                 E         B
And when the sun begins to rise
                 G#m      F#
Jimmy blinks and rubs his eyes

But one day they're gonna make each other
A      F#
Whole

F#                          G#m
They're always learning the hard way
