[Verse 1]
          E
In the shelter
                                           A
In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming
F#m
   I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
  E                    A               E
I just don't know, but I can't go back home."


[Verse 2]
           E
Lonely princess
                                           A
All the days out on your own are growing empty
F#m
    Nothing is going well
                            E
If you could only tell them how you feel
A                   E
They're too real to understand


[Bridge]
A
Too many small suggestions
                            E
Ended in forced repressions long ago
A
Too many innocent faces and
                        E
Too many far out places something's wrong
                     B7
Let me tell you that something's wrong
               A                        E
It's been that way so long, and it's a shame


[Verse 3]
               E
On the street car
                                               A
To the city where she knows that she might lose it all
F#m
   Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time
     E            A                E
And knowing well this could be her final fall


[Verse 4]
            E
Past the boutique
                                     A
To the alley down the river, people pass her by
F#m
   Sits on the big gray rocks, takes off her boots and socks
    E                A                 E
Not knowing what she will do next just starts to cry


[Bridge]
A
   Too many wild rejections
                          E
Ending in angry questions from her dad
A
   Too many T - V dinners
                                 E
And everyone loves a winner, but she was lost
A                   E
No one knows the trials she had


[Verse 5]
          E
In the shelter
                                           A
In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming
F#m
   I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
  E                    A               E
I just don't know, but I can't go back home."
                             A                E
Hell, I just don't know, but I can't go back home
