Capo 2

A D A

Her mama cussed, she was out of film

D A E F#m D

As her baby came down those stairs looking right at him

A D A

His hands, they shook as he pinned on that corsage

D A E F#m D

And she almost cried cause she liked this guy from the very start

D A E

Shoulda been just another first, not the last

D A E

A beautiful moment in two lives when they looked back, now they’re

Chorus:

A D A

Flowers by the side of the road

F#m E D

Yeah ,that’s all that’s left of the hopes and dreams of two seventeen year olds

E A

Some dreams live on and some, they don’t

D A D A D E A

All that’s left to know, all that’s left to show are flowers by the side of the road

Could’ve been me, could’ve been you

How many times have I said I’ve just had one or two

It’s a sobering thought, it’s a sobering sight

How like a bad, bad dream you can lose everything on a careless night

Be the one who lives, be the one who’s gone

Be the mother whose heart has to somehow go on, but she’ll leave

Chorus
