She sits a-lone by a lamp-post,
  3   3   3   3    3
Try’n to find a thought 
  3    3    3    2  2 -1
that's es-caped her mind.
-1   -4    4    4  -4 -3  -3  -3 -4-332-1
She says Dad's the one I love the  most, 
 1     3     3   3  2  -4-33
but Stipe's not far be-hind. 
-4  -4  -4   4  -4 -4
She nev-er lets me in,
-3 -3   -3  3   -4      -3    3
On-ly tells me where's she's been 
 -1   -1    3   3   3   2  -4-33
when she's had too much to drink.
-1 -4  -4  4  -4    -4
I say that I don't care, 
-4 -4  -3  -3  -3
I just run my hands 
  -4    -3   -3   3
through her dark hair, 
 3  3  -4  -3 -3
and I pray to God 
 3   3  3   -4  -3 -3  3  3
you got-ta help me fly a-way. 


3   3   -4  -3   3  
And just let her cry, 
-1 -1   -4    -3   -3   3   32-1
if the tears fall down like rain. 
-4  -3   3    -1 -1 -4  -3 -3   3   -3
Let her sing, if it eas-es all her pain.
-4  -3  3  -1  -1   -4   -3   -3  3 32-1
Let her go let her walk right out on me. 
-1  -1 -1  -3   -3   -3 3  -4  -3
And if the sun comes up to-mor-row. 
-4  -3  3   -3   3  3
Let her be, let her be.

This morn-ing I woke up a-lone, 
 -3  -3  -3    3   -4  -3 -3    3
found a note stand-ing by the phone 
-1  -1  -1  -1
say-ing may-be,
 3  3   3   2   -4   -3   3
may-be I'll be back some day 
-1 -4  -4 4   -4  -4  -4
I want-ed to look for you 
-4   -4    -3 -3 -3 -3   -3
You walked in I did-n't know 
 -3   -4  -3 3
just what to do 
3  3 -4   -3   -3  -4 -3  -3
so I sat back down had a beer 
 3   3    3  3   3  3   3
and felt sor-ry for my-self. 

3   3  -4  -3   3  
Say-in let her cry, 
-1 -1   -4    -3   -3   3   32-1
if the tears fall down like rain. 
-4  -3   3    -1 -1 -4  -3 -3   3   -3
Let her sing, if it eas-es all her pain.
-4  -3  3  -1  -1   -4   -3   -3  3 32-1
Let her go let her walk right out on me. 
-1  -1 -1  -3   -3   -3 3  -4  -3
And if the sun comes up to-mor-row. 
-4  -3  3   -3   3  3
Let her be, let her be.

Last night I tried to leave 
 -3   -3  -3  3  
cried so much I  
 -4   -3  3    3
could not be-lieve 
 3   3   3   -1   -1
she was the same girl 
3  3   3   3    2    -4 -3 3
I fell in love with long a-go 
-1   -4  -4 -4   -4  -4 -4   -4
She went in the back to get high 
-3 -3  -3  -3 -3  -4   -3    3
I sat down on my couch and cried 
 3    3  -4 -3 -3   -4    -3  -3
Yell-ing oh ma-ma please help me 
  3    3   3   3   3
Won’t you hold my hand

 3  -4  -3   3  
And let her cry, 
-1 -1   -4    -3   -3   3   32-1
if the tears fall down like rain. 
-4  -3   3    -1 -1 -4  -3 -3   3   -3
Let her sing, if it eas-es all her pain.
-4  -3  3  -1  -1   -4   -3   -3  3 32-1
Let her go let her walk right out on me. 
-1  -1 -1  -3   -3   -3 3  -4  -3
And if the sun comes up to-mor-row. 
-4  -3  3   -3   3  3
Let her be, let her be.
