v1)      G                      D
      She sits alone by a lampo-ost
      C                                           G 
      Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
      G                               D
      She says there's the one I love the most
      C                   G
      his type's not far behind


      G                  D
      She never lets me in      only tells me where she's been
      C                         G
      when she's had to much to drink
      G                                D
      I say that I don't care   I just run my hands through her dark hair
      C                                          G
      then I pray to God, "You gotta help me fly away"   (and just)


              C              G
      let her cry      if the tears fall down like rain
              C             Em      G      D
      let her sing      If it eases all her pain
              C               G
      let her go      let her walk right out on me
                   D
      and if the sun comes up tomorrow, 
                C             G
      let her be,   let her be 
      G      D    C    G

verse 2

      This morning I woke up alone    found a note standing by the phone

      saying "maybe, maybe I'll be back someday"

      I wanted to look for you

      you walked in, I didn't know just what I should do

      So, I sat back down, had a beer and felt sorry for myself

      chorus

      solo - 8 bars over verse

      chorus

verse 3

      last night I tried to leave

      cried so much I could not beleive

      she was the same girl I fell in love with long ago

      she went in the back to get high

      I sat down on my couch and cried yelling

      "Whoa Lord whoa, please help me.  Won't you hold my hand"

      chorus - ends differently as....
                   D                              G
      and if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be

      chorus
