[Intro] A E A E [Verse]
E
[tab]                                              A
    In the mornin' as the sun is 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"

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
    But they're too real to understand
[Chorus]
   A
     Too many small suggestions

                                 E
     Ending in forced rejections long ago

   A
     To many innocent faces

                                E
     In too many far out places somethings wrong

                          B
     Let me tell you that somethings wrong

                    A                       E
     It's been that way so long, and it's a shame
[Verse]
E
On the street car

                                     A
To the city where she knows she may lose it all

F#m
Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time

    E                  A                E
And knowing well that this could be her final fall

E
Past the boutique

                                    A
To the alley down the river, people pass her by

F#m
She sits on a big gray rock, takes off her boots and socks

    E                A                 E
Not knowin' what she will do next just starts to cry
[Chorus]
   A
     Too many wild rejections

                               E
     Endin' in angry questions from her dad

   A
     Too many T.V. dinners

                                      E
     Ah, everyone loves a winner, but she was lost

     A                 E
     No one knows the trials she had
[Verse]
E
    In the shelter

                                              A
    In the mornin' as the sun is 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"

E                             A               E      A  E    A  E
Hell, I just don't know,  but I can't go back home               (fade)
