Intro

C F x2

Verse 1

Someday they'll find our small town world,
On a big town avenue,
Gonna make you like the way they talk,
When they're talking to you,
Gonna make you break out of your shell,
Cuz they tell you to,
Gonna make you like the way they lie,
Better than the truth,
They'll tell you everything,
You wanted someone else to say,
They're gonna break your heart.

Chorus

From what I've seen,
You're just one more hand me down,
But no one's tried to give you,
What you need,
Lay all your troubles down,
I am with you now.

Verse 2

Somebody oughta take you in,
Try to make you love again,
Try to make you like the way they feel,
When they're under you skin.
Never once to you think that they would lie,
When they're holding you,
You wonder why they havn't called,
When they said they'd call you,
You start to wonder,
If you're ever gonna make it by,
You'll start to think,
You were born blind.

Chorus

From what I've seen,
You're just one more hand me down,
But no one's tried to give you,
What you need,
Lay all your troubles down,
I am with you now.

Bridge

I'm here for the hard times,
The straight to your heart times,
When living ain't easy
You can stand up against me,
And maybe rely on me and
Cry on me, yeah

Solo

   

Verse 3

Someday the'll open up your world,
Shake it down to the very core,
Do their best to change you,
They still can't erase you.

Chorus

From what I've seen,
You're just one more hand me down,
But no one's tried to give you,
What you need,
Lay all your troubles down,
I am with you now.
