F C F C
She has a head full of stories just waiting to be told.
F C Am F G
She’s been putting them on paper since she was eight years old.
F C F C
And her friends said she should publish, so, she sent a few away.
F C Am F G
Only to be returned unopened in the next couple of days.
[Chorus]
F C F C
Well, it’s a well known fact in this game as that old saying goes.
F C Am F G C C
It isn’t what you know, it’s who you know and it’s true I suppose.
[Verse 2]
F C F C
She’d write stories about romance and stories about war.
F C Am F G
And she really did believe that this was what she was put on this earth for.
F C F C
Stories about hard times that would make a grown mans heart bleed.
F C Am F G
A whole life full of stories that nobody would ever read.
[Chorus]
F C F C
And it’s a well known fact in this game as that old saying goes.
F C Am F G C C
It isn’t what you know, it’s who you know and it’s true I suppose.
[Bridge]
E7 Am E7 Am
She got a job in a print shop, making brochures for businessmen.
F C F G
But she was never ever far away from paper and a pen.
E7 Am E7 Am
And she soon gave up on any hope and stopped sending them away.
F C Am F G G
But still she dreams that someone might read her tales one day.
[Chorus]
F C F C
And it’s a well known fact in this game as that old saying goes.
F C Am F G C C
It isn’t what you know, it’s who you know and it’s true I suppose.
[Interlude]
| F | C | G | C | C |
[Verse 3]
F C F C
So, she keeps on writing stories, just to get them off her chest.
F C F G
And I remember asking her one time which one she liked the best.
F C F C
She said every one was special to a certain degree
F C Am F G C***
because every story you see here contains a part of me.
