Bb

She sits a-

lone by

a lamp-

F

post____

Ebadd9

try'n to find a

thought that's escaped her mind.

Bb

Bb

She says, "Dad's

the one I

love

F

the most___

Ebadd9

but Stipe's

not far

behind."

Bb

Bb

She never

lets me in,___

F

only

tells

me where she's

been

Ebadd9

when she's had

too much

to drink.

Bb

Bb

I say that

I don't care,

I just

F

run my hands

through

her dark hair,

and I

Ebadd9

pray to God

you gotta

help me fly

away.

Bb

And just

let her cry

Bb

This morn-

ing I work

up alone,

F

found a

note

standing by

the phone

Ebadd9

sayin', "Maybe,

maybe I'll

be back some-

Bb

day."

Bb

I wanted to

look for you,

you walked

F

in. I didn't

know just what

to do,

so I

Ebadd9

sat back down,

had a beer

and felt

Bb

sorry for

myself.

Sayin',

let her cry

Bb

Last night I

tried to leave,

F

cried so much,

I could not

believe

Ebadd9

she was the

same girl I

fell in love

with long a-

Bb

go.

Bb

She went in

the back to

get high.

F

I sat down

on my couch

and cried,

yelling,

Ebadd9

"Oh mama

please help. me

Won't you

Bb

hold my

hand?"

And

let her cry
