[Intro] A E A E [Verse 1]
          E
[tab]                                           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
[Outro] E A E A E A E
