[Em] [G]

[VERSE 1]
[Am]Halfway to heaven, maybe [C]closer
Her [Em]playing years came and [Em]went
Her [Am]voice was gonna take her [C]all the way
Now she's [Em]hoping for next month's [G]rent
[Am]Two kids depend on her for [C]everything
She'll make [Em]sure they go to school with new [Em]shoes
If [Am]they could just grow up and [C]feed themselves
She'd feel [Em]less guilt for the [G]booze

[CHORUS]
Used to [Am]know she was strong
Hope burned [C]bright like dawn
There was [Dm]plenty of fuel for that [Dm]flame
Never [Am]finished her song
Now it's [C]been so long
And she's [Dm]left with more memories than [G]dreams

[VERSE 2]
[Am]Used to want a Beamer and a [C]big yard
And the [Em]pride supposed to come with those [Em]things
She [Am]takes the kids to choir in a [C]bruised old Ford
And all that [Em]matters is hearing them [G]sing
To [Am]everyone else they're [C]part of the crowd
In her [Em]eyes they're alone on the [Em]stage
[Am]Choir, soccer, school, what[C]ever their dreams
She's finally [Em]ready to turn to their [G]page

[CHORUS]
Used to [Am]know she was strong
Hope burned [C]bright like dawn
There was [Dm]plenty of fuel for that [Dm]flame
Never [Am]finished her song
Now it's [C]been so long
And she's [Dm]left with more memories than [G]dreams

[BRIDGE]
The [Am]fire's [C]died
[Em]No more embers in[Em]side
[Am]Dreams [C]blurred
[Em]Gone are the hard miles beh[G]ind her
[Am]Through her [C]tears
There's an [Em]answer to all of her [Em]prayers
In her [Am]kids re[C]deemed
A living [Em]memory of her own [G]dreams

[CHORUS]
Used to [Am]know she was strong
Hope burned [C]bright like dawn
There was [Dm]plenty of fuel for that [Dm]flame
Never [Am]finished her song
Now it's [C]been so long
And she's [Dm]left with more memories than [G]dreams
