She sits a-

lone by

a lamp-

E

post____

Dadd9 FIVE_MAJOR

try'n to find a

thought that's escaped her mind.

A

A

She says, "Dad's

the one I

love

E

the most___

Dadd9 FIVE_MAJOR

but Stipe's

not far

behind."

A

A

She never

lets me in,___

E

only

tells

me where she's

been

Dadd9 FIVE_MAJOR

when she's had

too much

to drink.

A

A

I say that

I don't care,

I just

E

run my hands

through

her dark hair,

and I

Dadd9 FIVE_MAJOR

pray to God

you gotta

help me fly

away.

A

And just

let her cry

A

This morn-

ing I work

up alone,

E

found a

note

standing by

the phone

Dadd9 FIVE_MAJOR

sayin', "Maybe,

maybe I'll

be back some-

A

day."

A

I wanted to

look for you,

you walked

E

in. I didn't

know just what

to do,

so I

Dadd9 FIVE_MAJOR

sat back down,

had a beer

and felt

A

sorry for

myself.

Sayin',

let her cry

A

Last night I

tried to leave,

E

cried so much,

I could not

believe

Dadd9 FIVE_MAJOR

she was the

same girl I

fell in love

with long a-

A

go.

A

She went in

the back to

get high.

E

I sat down

on my couch

and cried,

yelling,

Dadd9 FIVE_MAJOR

"Oh mama

please help. me

Won't you

A

hold my

hand?"

And

let her cry
