She sits a-

lone by

a lamp-

G ONE_MAJOR

post____

Fadd9

try'n to find a

thought that's escaped her mind.

C FOUR_MAJOR

C FOUR_MAJOR

She says, "Dad's

the one I

love

G ONE_MAJOR

the most___

Fadd9

but Stipe's

not far

behind."

C FOUR_MAJOR

C FOUR_MAJOR

She never

lets me in,___

G ONE_MAJOR

only

tells

me where she's

been

Fadd9

when she's had

too much

to drink.

C FOUR_MAJOR

C FOUR_MAJOR

I say that

I don't care,

I just

G ONE_MAJOR

run my hands

through

her dark hair,

and I

Fadd9

pray to God

you gotta

help me fly

away.

C FOUR_MAJOR

And just

let her cry

C FOUR_MAJOR

This morn-

ing I work

up alone,

G ONE_MAJOR

found a

note

standing by

the phone

Fadd9

sayin', "Maybe,

maybe I'll

be back some-

C FOUR_MAJOR

day."

C FOUR_MAJOR

I wanted to

look for you,

you walked

G ONE_MAJOR

in. I didn't

know just what

to do,

so I

Fadd9

sat back down,

had a beer

and felt

C FOUR_MAJOR

sorry for

myself.

Sayin',

let her cry

C FOUR_MAJOR

Last night I

tried to leave,

G ONE_MAJOR

cried so much,

I could not

believe

Fadd9

she was the

same girl I

fell in love

with long a-

C FOUR_MAJOR

go.

C FOUR_MAJOR

She went in

the back to

get high.

G ONE_MAJOR

I sat down

on my couch

and cried,

yelling,

Fadd9

"Oh mama

please help. me

Won't you

C FOUR_MAJOR

hold my

hand?"

And

let her cry
