E
She didn't see the flash
Her makeup wasn't perfect
A
Purse slung on her chair
Cigarette hand in her hair
  C#m7
A thousand-mile stare
      A
Just sittin' there

Chorus:
               E
If looks could kill,
she'd be killin' it killin' it
Oh, but life ain't fair
                  A
If hearts could spill,
she'd be spillin' it spillin' it
On the tablecloth right there
       C#m7
It's a shame that all she'll ever be
        A
Is the girl in the picture
That won the blue ribbon
                        E
At the Faulkner County fair

Nah, she didn’t dance
But not ’cause nobody asked her
She just sat and laughed
Like the bubbles in her glass
Disappearing like her happy ever after

Chorus

                 A
Shouldn't be a prize
                                                 E
For catching the last smile of a girl named Caroline

Chorus:
If looks could kill, she'd be killin' it,
killin' it
Oh, but life ain't fair
If hearts could spill, she'd be spillin' it,
spillin' it
On the tablecloth right there
It's a shame that all she'll ever be
Is the girl in the picture
That won the blue ribbon
The girl in the picture
That won the blue ribbon
At the Faulkner County fair, uh-huh
At the Faulkner County fair, mm-mm
