[Intro]
Em D/F# G
C C/B Am7
[Verse 1]
Em D/F# G
In a small town where the fields stretch wide
C C/B Am7
She was drawn to trouble when their paths collide
Em D/F# G
Caught up in the spell of a rebel's gaze
C C/B Am7 D
She thought she found love in a mysterious way
[Pre Chorus 1]
G B7 Am7 G
He had a wild spirit so hard for her to resist
G B7 Am7 G
She fell for his charm unaware of the twist
Em G Em G
But as the years rolled on she began to see
Em G G G
Her son was a spitting image just like he
[Chorus 1]
G Bm Am7 G
Oh the irony in this tale of life's design
G Bm Am7 G
She loved both mistakes and raised one just in time
C C C G
Her heart was torn apart left alone and blue
C C Am7 D
By the two men that she loved her boy and a one-time thing
[Instrumental]
Em D/F# G
C C/B Am7
[Verse 2]
Em D/F# G
That boy had his father's reckless streak
C C/B Am7
But a gentler soul hiding beneath
Em D/F# G
She watched him grow and couldn't help but see
C C/B Am7 D
The echoes of a love that brought her to her knees
[Pre Chorus 2]
G B7 Am7 G
In the twilight of her days, she ponders the past
G B7 Am7 G
How love's twisted dance took its toll so fast
Em G Em G
But through it all, she still holds on
Em G G G
To the boy who reminds her of a love that's gone
[Chorus 2]
G Bm Am7 G
Life's a tangled web, where love can deceive
G Bm Am7 G
And the ones we raise may mirror what we couldn't leave
C C G
She finds comfort in the memories, even through the pain
C Am7 D
For her heart's been broken twice, left alone again
[Chorus]
G Bm Am7 G
Oh the irony in this tale of life's design
G Bm Am7 G
She loved both mistakes and raised one just in time
C C C G
Her heart was torn apart left alone and blue
C C Am7 G
By the two men that she loved her boy and a one-time thing
[Outro]
Em D/F# G
C C/B Am7
