C                               G                   F
Uncle Slim had let her know she couldn't ride that horse
C                                      F    Csus4-F   C
He was the one that was only meant for men
    Dm7
She waited 'round 'til way after dark
Fm                          
Rode that horse with all her heart
    C                      Cadd9  G
And in the night how she rode


Chorus:
    F              C        Em                 F
Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside
                C              Cadd9   G
And even if she fell, she'd survive
                    F             C
In spite of all the tears she may cry
                Dm7              C
This is how she has to live her life
                F                G               C      F   C   F
As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself


C                                G               F
Mama and daddy told her from the start he was no good
C                                    F    Csus4-F   C
They'd seen how he treated the other girls
    Dm7
She waited around till the sun went down
        Fm                               
Slipped out of the house not making a sound
    C                             Cadd9  G
And in the night, oh, how they drove


Chorus:
    F              C        Em                 F
Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside
                C              Cadd9   G
And even if she fell, she'd survive
                    F             C
In spite of all the tears she may cry
                Dm7              C
This is how she has to live her life
                F                G               C   
As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself


Bridge:
       Am                   Em  
It was fifteen years to the day
            F        Dm     F
He became a stranger in her eyes
   Am                   Em
In the coldest words of anger
            Dm7                 G
He said without me you won't survive


N.C.      C                              G                  F
There's a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months ago
C                                     F    Csus4-F   C
She don't leave a note that's not her style
       Dm7
So she waited around till way after dark
Fm                         
Left that man who broke her heart
C                           Cadd9  G
Now she's gone, oh, she's gone


Chorus:
    F              C        Em                 F
Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside
                C              Cadd9   G
And even if she fell, she'd survive
                    F             C
In spite of all the tears she may cry
                Dm7              C
This is how she has to live her life
                F                G               C        F
As hard as it may be, she has to find out for herself
                 G               C      F   C   F    C       
Yes, she's gotta find out for herself
