G        C9                G       C9
Could've been one of those wind up dolls

    G               C9        D
And have someone to catch me, everytime I'd fall

G           C9       G                 C9
Could've afforded to shop wherever I'd want

    G                     C9        D             G
And spend his hard-earned money on trips on the salon

         C9                                      D                  G
Well, he wasn't such a bad guy and sleeping with him beats slinging hash

    Am                       C         D
But I could never justify affection or cash

G        C9          D          G                         C9           D
Pushing away all the pain and regrets, I filled a million bottles with all
the tears

G                 C9          D                   Em
I don't stay home waiting for what ain't happened yet

        C                       D            G
And I'm pushing thirty a little harder every year


Leaves of the trees like the lines of my eyes
Considering the storm I've seen, it ain't no real surprise
Sometimes on a glass of beer, I think of a little girl
Trying to keep her grace, as if she could see the world
I don't worry too much about those places I don't see
I know that I'm the woman that I wanted to be
So I'm pushing away all the pain and regrets
I've filled a million bottles with all of the tears
I don't stay home waiting for what ain't happened yet
And I'm pushing thirty a little harder every year

Am                         C                       G      G  C9  G  C9
I knew I'd never take that train to the end of the line

Am                               C                      D
Not with a heart full of hope and legs that work just fine

No matter who you think you're with, no matter what you think you want
You're never really more than someone and don't deserve to know
So I'm pushing away all the pain and regrets
I've filled a million bottles with all of the tears
I don't stay home waiting for what ain't happened yet
And I'm pushing thirty a little harder every year
Pushing thirty, pushing thirty, pushing thirty
