[Intro]
G Em C G Em C G
[Verse 1]
G Em
The rich folks are ordering dinner
C G
Bottles of liquor top shelf
Em
The waitress is serving everyone around
C G
But forgets to take care of herself
Em
There's a painting that hangs by the window
C G
Infinite mountains of green
Em
She reminisces and misses
C G
When she wasn't tethered to somebody's dream
[Chorus]
Em B7
But if there comes a time
C Am7
She decides she can no longer stay
C Am7 D7
I will not stand in her way
[Verse 2]
G Em
Walking the dog on a Sunday
C G
When the Christians are busy in church
Em
She tells me she prays that her friends and her family
C G
Get all the good things they deserve
Em
There's a red bird chirping in the backyard
C G
She loves all the songs that it sings
Em
She looks like an Angel got locked out of heaven
Am G
For lending somebody her wings
[Chorus]
Em B7
But if there comes a time
C Am7
She decides she can no longer stay
C Am7 D7
I will not stand in her way

[Verse 3]
G Em
Can't keep her to myself forever
C G
Cause she's got other places to be
Em
Her love is gift I have witnessed her give

No it doesn't belong to me
C Cm G Em
No it doesn't belonged to me
[Outro]
