       D  Dsus4 D                          Dsus2  D
Little girl,    playin' with the moonlight,

            G Gadd11 G                D  Dsus2  D
Shine it on me,      ooh, shine it on me,

          A    Asus2  A       Em    D/F# G    G/A       D
There's a cloud       over my light and  it's troubling me.
[Verse 2]
       D
Such a world, such an invitation,

            G                         D
Come as you are, they say come as you are,

           A                 Em  D/F# G  Gmaj7/A   D
Subject to change, but we'll try not  to leave any scars.
[Chorus]
         G                                           D
Washable ink, if you think it stinks you can cry it away,

                                          A
They don't want to hear your sad story today,

            G/A               D
Everybody's busy whoever they are,

         G                                      D
Washable ink, put it in the sink if you've had enough,

                                        A
But if you're on the brink of the usual stuff,

             G/A                D
Wait 'til it rains and give it away.

         D
Give it away.
[Verse 3]
       D
Little girl, they just want to train you,

               G                        D
To keep them amused, oh, to keep them amused,

           A                  Em    D/F# G   G/A         D
They don't know, you got your match to   the end of that fuse.
[Chorus]
         G                                           D
