[First Part]

  G            Em     C
Trouble is her only friend
          G        Em  C
And he's back again
   G           Em    C       G         Em  C
Makes her body older than it really is
G                                Em
And she says it's high time she went away
       C                G           Em  C
No ones got much to say in this town
 G            Em     C     G           D
Trouble is the only way is down, down, down

[Chorus]

                 G
As strong as you were
            Em
Tender you go
                   Bm
I'm watching you breathing
              C
For the last time
                 G
A song for your heart
                 Em
But when it is quiet
                 Bm
I know what it means
                    C
And I'll carry you home
                G
I'll carry you home

( G  Em  C )

[Second Part]

G                           Em
If she had wings she would fly away
      C                            G   Em  C
And another day god will give her some
 G            Em    C       G          D
Trouble is the only way is down, down,down

[Chorus]

                  G
As strong as you were
           Em
Tender you go
                   Bm
I'm watching you breathing
              C
For the last time
                 G
A song for your heart
                 Em
But when it is quiet
                 Bm
I know what it means
                    C
And I'll carry you home
                G
I'll carry you home

[Bridge]

   Am                   G
And they were all born pretty in
               D
New York City tonight
     Am
And someone's little girl has
      G                  D
 Taken from the world tonight
          Am   G      D
Under the stars and stripes

[Final Chorous]

                  G
As strong as you were
            Em
Tender you go
                    Bm
I'm watching you breathing
              C
For the last time
                 G
A song for your heart
                 Em
But when it is quiet
                 Bm
I know what it means
                    C
And I'll carry you home
                  G
As strong as you were
            Em
Tender you go
                    Bm
I'm watching you breathing
              C
For the last time
                 G
A song for your heart
                 Em
But when it is quiet
                 Bm
I know what it means
                    C
And I'll carry you home
                G
I'll carry you home
