She sits a-

lone by

a lamp-

Db

post____

Cbadd9

try'n to find a

thought that's escaped her mind.

Gb

Gb

She says, "Dad's

the one I

love

Db

the most___

Cbadd9

but Stipe's

not far

behind."

Gb

Gb

She never

lets me in,___

Db

only

tells

me where she's

been

Cbadd9

when she's had

too much

to drink.

Gb

Gb

I say that

I don't care,

I just

Db

run my hands

through

her dark hair,

and I

Cbadd9

pray to God

you gotta

help me fly

away.

Gb

And just

let her cry

Gb

This morn-

ing I work

up alone,

Db

found a

note

standing by

the phone

Cbadd9

sayin', "Maybe,

maybe I'll

be back some-

Gb

day."

Gb

I wanted to

look for you,

you walked

Db

in. I didn't

know just what

to do,

so I

Cbadd9

sat back down,

had a beer

and felt

Gb

sorry for

myself.

Sayin',

let her cry

Gb

Last night I

tried to leave,

Db

cried so much,

I could not

believe

Cbadd9

she was the

same girl I

fell in love

with long a-

Gb

go.

Gb

She went in

the back to

get high.

Db

I sat down

on my couch

and cried,

yelling,

Cbadd9

"Oh mama

please help. me

Won't you

Gb

hold my

hand?"

And

let her cry
