G

[Verse]
                                     C
She’s got three kids and no husband
                                     G
She’s two weeks late on last month’s rent
G
She’s waiting on child support, he keeps swearing that it’s coming
       C                                 G
But if she knows him, she knows where it went
          D                 C        G
And those bills ain’t gonna pay themselves

[Verse]
G
It’s been a forty hour week and it’s only Tuesday
            C                      G
And there’s homework and dinner to make
G
And somebody wants a lullaby, somebody wants a different channel
    C                                    G
Somebody’s dealing with their first heartbreak
      D                              C        G
Those dishes in the sink ain’t gonna wash themselves

[Bridge]
    C                             G
She lights a cigarette out on the balcony
         Em                            C
When she gets a couple minutes to herself
                                             G
There’s how you plan it out and how it turns out to be
      Em                        G
And a broken home ain’t no fairytale

[Verse]
G
She’s got three kids and no husband
      C                              G
And a hairnet job at a diner down on Main
G
She knows damn well she don’t make the best cup of coffee
          C                                    G
But she’s quick with a smile and she's good at names
          D                   C             G
But those lunch tickets ain’t gonna tip themselves

[Bridge]
    C                             G
She smokes a cigarette out by the loading dock
          Em                             C
And tries not to pick the polish off her nails
                                             G
She’s thinking about a guy who’s been coming in a lot
    Em                                    G
She starts to dream and then she stops herself

[Verse]
G
She’s got three kids and no husband
        C
She’s a mom and a dad and a taxi driver
         G
When the baby’s sick she’s an up-all-nighter
                            G
A hand and a shoulder and a referee
G
A real life hero, if you ask me
          D                C         G
And those kids ain’t gonna raise themselves
