A PLACE FOR GIRLS LIKE YOU
Recorded by Faron Young
Words and music by Sonny Burns and Red Hayes

CHORUS
Fate has [A7] planned a place for girls like you
Who [G] torture guys like [D] me
And the [A7] time for all bad things to end
Will [G] surely come, you'll [D] see
The world will turn its back on those
Who [G] never can be [D] true
And [G] you'll find out that [D] fate has planned
A [A7] place for girls like [E] you.

I [D] tried so hard to [D7] be the way
You [G] wanted me to [D] be
To [G] give you things you [D] wanted most
But [E] still we dis-a-[A7] gree
Each [D] time I try to [D7] change my life
To [G] fit the way you [D] live
I [G] find that you
Just [D] made new plans
For [A7] more than I can [D] give.

CHORUS

(2nd verse)
The past holds no fond memories
Just hope that you will see     
That all I ever got from you was only misery  
You know I've wasted half my life
And in your agony       
The heartaches you caused me to bear    
Should last eternally.
