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

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
