*** verse: 1
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
*** chorus:
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
*** verse 2:
we'd get impatient with her now and then em d/f# g c
oh, she'd smile and say, `now you're not being nice.' em d c g
i guess her definition of a friend em d/f# g c
was someone long on love, and short on advice em d c g
we gave her money but the money's bad am g/b c d
she took the dollars and just tore them in half am g/b c d
we got so angry, we just had to laugh am g/b c d
*** chorus:
but we still gave up em d c
yeah we still gave up em d c
'cause sometimes, you know em d
there's limits to love c g | c g | c g

** verse 3:
she'll get in trouble but she will scrape through em d/f# g c
oh, she's the kind of girl who can always find help em d c g
i'd say she's stupid, but it'd be untrue em d/f# g c
oh, you've got to be smart if you're fooling yourself em d c g
we tried to love her, but our love unwound am g/b c d
(so our love was weak)
we talked about her when she wasn't around am g/b c d
(so our talk was cheap)
and still we felt that we were letting her down am g/b c d
*** chorus:
'cause we just gave up em d c
yeah we just gave up em d c
'cause sometimes, you know em d
there's limits to love c g
Sometimes you know em d
there's limits to love c g
