Db

She sits a-

lone by

a lamp-

Ab

post____

Gbadd9

try'n to find a

thought that's escaped her mind.

Db

Db

She says, "Dad's

the one I

love

Ab

the most___

Gbadd9

but Stipe's

not far

behind."

Db

Db

She never

lets me in,___

Ab

only

tells

me where she's

been

Gbadd9

when she's had

too much

to drink.

Db

Db

I say that

I don't care,

I just

Ab

run my hands

through

her dark hair,

and I

Gbadd9

pray to God

you gotta

help me fly

away.

Db

And just

let her cry

Db

This morn-

ing I work

up alone,

Ab

found a

note

standing by

the phone

Gbadd9

sayin', "Maybe,

maybe I'll

be back some-

Db

day."

Db

I wanted to

look for you,

you walked

Ab

in. I didn't

know just what

to do,

so I

Gbadd9

sat back down,

had a beer

and felt

Db

sorry for

myself.

Sayin',

let her cry

Db

Last night I

tried to leave,

Ab

cried so much,

I could not

believe

Gbadd9

she was the

same girl I

fell in love

with long a-

Db

go.

Db

She went in

the back to

get high.

Ab

I sat down

on my couch

and cried,

yelling,

Gbadd9

"Oh mama

please help. me

Won't you

Db

hold my

hand?"

And

let her cry
