intro: Em D/f# G C - Em D C G
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
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
We'd get impatient with her now and then
Oh, she'd smile and say, `now you're not being nice.
I guess her definition of a friend
Was someone long on love, and short on adviceem
We gave her money but the money's bad
She took the dollars and just tore them in half
We got so angry, we just had to laugh
But we still gave up
Yeah we still gave up
'cause sometimes, you know
There's limits to love
instrumental
She'll get in trouble but she will scrape through
Oh, she's the kind of girl who can always find help
I'd say she's stupid, but it'd be untrue
Oh, you've got to be smart if you're fooling yourself
We tried to love her, but our love unwound
(so our love was weak)
We talked about her when she wasn't around
(so our talk was cheap)
And still we felt that we were letting her down
'cause we just gave up
Yeah we just gave up
'cause sometimes, you know
There's limits to love
Sometimes you know
There's limits to love
