Capo On 3

C                                                  Am
Holly was the kind of girl the cameras liked
                     C                                                           Am
She could play the part of poet that's kept behind the mic
         C                                                                            Am
And whilst i've always dreamed of making it in Hollywood
                       C                                                                Am
I know that if she'd had a second chance then Holly could
F                                          C
And i did all that i could to help
F                                                 C
Yeah i've done all that i can to help

C                                                                            Am
By the time that she was twenty she had driven insane
               C                                                                    Am
On her way back out she crashed straight into crack cocaine
                               C                                              Am
And whilst i'd never once condemed i did not agree
                      C                                                Am
That's why i think Holly fell to fall in love with me

F                                          C
But i did all that i could to help
F                                                C
Yeah i've done all that i can to help
    Am                                 F
I layed down my anchor
C                                           G
and i said let's make a stand
                            F                 G
'Cause i'm leaving only when 
                                 C
i've done all that i can


             C                                                                     Am
She cleaned her act up burnt her shackles and chains
                        C                                                            Am
And she rid herself of men who used their fists for their brains
                      C                                                             Am
And she cotched upon a couch within the neighbors' space
                         C                                                       Am
Til she'd saved enough to pay the lease on her own place

F                                          C
But i did all that i could to help
F                                                C
Yeah i've done all that i can to help

       C                                                  Am
She used to brush past all the students of art
                                 C                                                     Am
She said they're masters of their craft but i am far too smart
                     C                                           Am
And i've always fancied studying humanitites
                C                                                         Am
And she passed with first-class honours in philosophy

F                                          C
But i did all that i could to help
F                                                C
Yeah i've done all that i can to help

    Am                                 F
I layed down my anchor
C                                           G
and i said let's make a stand
                            F                 G
'Cause i'm leaving only when 
                                 C
i've done all that i can

        C                                                    Am
A car was being naughty down a one-way street
                      C                                                                       Am
And it crushed her brittle bones right from her head to her feet
                    C                                                Am
And as i knelt over her body and i prayed to god
                 C                                                Am
I lost faith in everything that ever has been oh

F                                          C
But i did all that i could to help
F                                                C
Yeah i've done all that i can to help

    Am                                 F
I layed down my anchor
C                                           G
and i said let's make a stand
                            F                 G
'Cause i'm leaving only when 
                                 C
i've done all that i can
