G D
She sits alone by a lamppost
C (or Csus9) G
Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
She says Dad's the one I love the most
But Stipe's not far behind
She never let's me in
Only tells me where she's been
When she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care
I just run my hands through her dark hair
Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away
And just...
C
Let her cry
G
If the tears fall down like rain
C
Let her sing
Em G D
If it eases all her pain
C
Let her go
G
Let her walk right out on me
D
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
C G
Let her be, let her be
This morning I woke up alone
Found a note standing by the phone
Saying, "Baby, maybe I'll be back someday"
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself
Saying...
(chorus)
(solo - 8 bars over verse)
(chorus)
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I could not believe
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
And I sat down on my couch and cried
Yelling "Oh mama, please help me
Won't you hold my hand"
And...
(chorus) x 2
