D5 She laid her head on the bar Watching tiny little stars G5 D5 Dance around in front of her eyes And he cried on her shoulder As he sat there and told her B5 A5 G5 Sad stories and pretty white lies D5 And if not for that one indiscretion G5 It would have been an uneventful day B5 A5 If not for that single obsession G5 A5 Things would never have gone that way G5 A5 But she had one last drink and she didn't think twice D5 G5 In fact she didn't think at all G5 A5 D5 My, my, How far can a little girl fall? D5 They walked out of the bar She climbed into his car G5 D5 And they drove to somewhere deep in the night D5 Where she slipped off her ring And the rest of her things B5 A5 G5 And he switched off the tiny dome light A5 She fell back in his arms without the slightest alarm D5 G5 Forgetting everything her mama once said B5 A5 And just for a moment in the back of her mind G5 A5 A tiny picture come and went in her head G5 A5 Oh she remembered a man who was waiting at home D5 G5 And a baby barely learning to crawl G5 A5 D5 My, my, How far can a little girl fall? B5 A5 At six fifteen the baby woke up at home G5 D5 And the crying shook her daddy awake B5 A5 At a quarter to seven he made the decision G5 A5 B5 He thought he'd never have to make E5 Then at eight forty-five that girl came back to life A5 E5 In the back seat of a fancy car E5 To a world of disgrace and a smile on the face C#5 B5 A5 Of some stranger from a downtown bar A5 B5 At nine o'clock she put the key in the lock E5 A5 Just a little too late to explain C#5 B5 But she took one minute more before she opened the door A5 B5 She went over her story again A5 B5 Well the child and the man were both long long gone E5 A5 And the note said "Goodbye" and that's all A5 B5 E5 My, my, How far can a little girl fall? A5 B5 E5 Oh-O-O-Oh My, my, How far can a little girl fall?
