-Intro-
C                       G
She sits alone by a lamppost,
C                                           G
Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind.
G                                   D
She says there's the one I love the most,
C                    G
His type's not far behind.

G (Gtr.2 G)
She never lets me in,
D (Gtr.2 D)
Only tells me where she's been,
C (Gtr.2 C)                G (Gtr.2 G)
When she's had too much to drink.
G (Gtr.2 G)
I say that I don't care,
       D (Gtr.2 D)
I just run my hands through her dark hair.
C (Gtr.2 C)                                G (Gtr.2 G)
Then I pray to God, "You gotta help me fly away". (And just,)

-Chorus-

        C (Fill)    G (Gtr.2 G)
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain.
        C (Fill)    Em (Gtr.2 Em) D (Gtr.2 D)
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain.
        C (Fill)    G (Gtr.2 G)
Let her go, let her walk right out on me.
           D (Gtr.2 D)
And if the sun comes up tomorrow,
        C (Gtr.2 C) G
Let her be, let her be.

-Verse-
G (Gtr.2 G)
This morning I woke up alone,
D (Gtr.2 D)
Found a note standing by the phone,
C (Gtr.2 C)                        G (Gtr.2 G)
Saying, "Maybe, Maybe I'll be back someday".
G (Gtr.2 G)
I wanted to look for you.
           D (Gtr.2 D)
You walked in, I didn't know just what I should do.
      C (Gtr.2 C)                        G (Gtr.2 G)
So, I sat back down, had a beer and felt sorry for myself. (Saying,)
