Intro LA MI LA MI
MI
In the shelter
LA
In the mornin' as the sun is brightly gleaming
FA#m
I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
MI LA MI
I just don't know, but I can't go back home"
MI
Lonely princess
LA
All the days out on your own are growing empty
FA#m
Nothing is going well
MI
If you could only tell them how you feel
LA MI
But they're too real to understand
Chorus
LA
Too many trite expressions
MI
Ending in forced rejections long ago
LA
To many innocent faces
MI
In too many far out places somethings wrong
SI
Let me tell you that somethings wrong
LA MI
It's been that way so long, and it's a shame
On the street car
To the city where she knows she may lose it all
Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time
And knowing well that this could be her final fall
Past the boutique
To the alley down the river, people pass her by
She sits on a big gray rock, takes off her boots and socks
Not knowin' what she will do next just starts to cry
Chorus
LA
Too many wild rejections
MI
Endin' in angry questions from her dad
LA
Too many T.V. dinners
MI
Ah, everyone loves a winner, but she was lost
LA MI
No one knows the trials she had
(Repeat first verse, then)
MI LA MI LA MI LA MI
Hell, I just don't know, but I can't go back home (fade)
