*** Verse: 1
Em D/F# G C
We've known her ever since she was a kid
Em D C G
she was the kind of girl who repeats her mistakes
Em D/F# G C
Her parents never minded what she did
Em D C G
She was a fallen angel with dirt on her face
Am G/B C D
But past a certain point she stayed behind
Am G/B C D
the two of us could never read her mind
Am G/B C D
the million ways she had of killing time
*** Chorus:
Em D C
So we just gave up
Em D C
yeah we just gave up
Em D
'cause sometimes, you know
C G
there's limits to love
C G C G
*** Verse 2:
We'd get impatient with her now and then Em D/F# G C
oh, she'd smile and say, `now you're not being nice.' Em D C G
I guess her definition of a friend Em D/F# G C
was someone long on love, and short on advice Em D C G
We gave her money but the money's bad Am G/B C D
She took the dollars and just tore them in half Am G/B C D
We got so angry, we just had to laugh Am G/B C D
*** Chorus:
but we still gave up Em D C
yeah we still gave up Em D C
'cause sometimes, you know Em D
there's limits to love C G | C G | C G

** Verse 3:
She'll get in trouble but she will scrape through Em D/F# G C
oh, she's the kind of girl who can always find help Em D C G
I'd say she's stupid, but it'd be untrue Em D/F# G C
oh, you've got to be smart if you're fooling yourself Em D C G
We tried to love her, but our love unwound Am G/B C D
