Capo 1

C.                                 G      
You felt alone since you were only seven
Am                                 F
Your mother didn't have a clue what to do
C                                 G
You cried each night until you were eleven
Am                                 F
Youd pray to God to bring your daddy back to you
C                                 G
it got much worse when you were in high school
Am                                 F
From guy to guy you wondered why you never felt a thing
C                                 G
You wondered if you'd ever find a lover
Am                                 F
who'd someday get down on his knees holding a diamond ring
C                                 G
the summer's taking me to california
Am                                 F
but I won't go until you know that what I say is true
C                                 G
when everything you've ever loved has left you
Am             F             C
I'll be there yeah I'll be there for you
