She sits a-

lone by

a lamp-

A

post____

Gadd9 ONE_MAJOR

try'n to find a

thought that's escaped her mind.

D FIVE_MAJOR

D FIVE_MAJOR

She says, "Dad's

the one I

love

A

the most___

Gadd9 ONE_MAJOR

but Stipe's

not far

behind."

D FIVE_MAJOR

D FIVE_MAJOR

She never

lets me in,___

A

only

tells

me where she's

been

Gadd9 ONE_MAJOR

when she's had

too much

to drink.

D FIVE_MAJOR

D FIVE_MAJOR

I say that

I don't care,

I just

A

run my hands

through

her dark hair,

and I

Gadd9 ONE_MAJOR

pray to God

you gotta

help me fly

away.

D FIVE_MAJOR

And just

let her cry

D FIVE_MAJOR

This morn-

ing I work

up alone,

A

found a

note

standing by

the phone

Gadd9 ONE_MAJOR

sayin', "Maybe,

maybe I'll

be back some-

D FIVE_MAJOR

day."

D FIVE_MAJOR

I wanted to

look for you,

you walked

A

in. I didn't

know just what

to do,

so I

Gadd9 ONE_MAJOR

sat back down,

had a beer

and felt

D FIVE_MAJOR

sorry for

myself.

Sayin',

let her cry

D FIVE_MAJOR

Last night I

tried to leave,

A

cried so much,

I could not

believe

Gadd9 ONE_MAJOR

she was the

same girl I

fell in love

with long a-

D FIVE_MAJOR

go.

D FIVE_MAJOR

She went in

the back to

get high.

A

I sat down

on my couch

and cried,

yelling,

Gadd9 ONE_MAJOR

"Oh mama

please help. me

Won't you

D FIVE_MAJOR

hold my

hand?"

And

let her cry
