She was sitting really nice with her head full of advice from friends
           Ab
She walks around
                                            Bb         Eb         Cm
She tries to rearrange but everything goes under her bed
 

         Ab
And it's countless
                                Bb               Eb          Cm
She's got a jar full of change saved up for vacation
           Ab
And she's watching
                                 Bb                  Eb
She's watching her sons growing up just like their mom
          Cm
And it's hard
 

            Ab
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Bb                           Eb               Cm

Bb                                    Eb                     Cm

            B                     Fm              Ab

She's got a fistful of tears held back by the strength of five
                 Ab
And she says, "Happiness ain't free
                       Bb
Everybody fights just like me
     Eb                             Cm
But I've given up the ability to retreat"
 

            Ab
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Bb                              Eb                Cm
You gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up

Bb                                   Eb                     Cm
