[Intro]
F  C      F  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
          C
In the shelter
                                           F
In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming
Dm
   I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
  C                    F               C
I just don't know, but I can't go back home."
 
 
[Verse 2]
           C
Lonely princess
                                           F
All the days out on your own are growing empty
Dm
    Nothing is going well
                            C
If you could only tell them how you feel
F                   C
They're too real to understand
 
 
[Bridge]
F
Too many small suggestions
                            C
Ended in forced repressions long ago
F
Too many innocent faces and
                        C
Too many far out places something's wrong
                     G7
Let me tell you that something's wrong
               F                        C
It's been that way so long, and it's a shame
 
 
[Verse 3]
               C
On the street car
                                               F
To the city where she knows that she might lose it all
Dm
   Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time
     C            F                C
And knowing well this could be her final fall
 
 
[Verse 4]
            C
Past the boutique
                                     F
To the alley down the river, people pass her by
Dm
   Sits on the big gray rocks, takes off her boots and socks
    C                F                 C
Not knowing what she will do next just starts to cry
 
 
[Bridge]
F
   Too many wild rejections
                          C
Ending in angry questions from her dad
F
   Too many T - V dinners
                                 C
And everyone loves a winner, but she was lost
F                   C
No one knows the trials she had
 
 
[Verse 5]
          C
In the shelter
                                           F
In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming
Dm
   I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
  C                    F               C
I just don't know, but I can't go back home."
                             F                C
Hell, I just don't know, but I can't go back home
