Tonart: C major
Verse 1
C
This story's a sad one, the
sort that you hear all the time
F
But this time I'll bore you with
details and open your mind
Am
Dm
It's the tale of a young girl who once
C
was the talk of the town
Verse 2
C
The first time I saw her the skin
was so thin on her bones
F
Her eyes they were lost on that street
though she called it her home
C
So I thought, can I save her, can
I get her out of harms way
F
And she looked at me with those
eyes so what could I say
Verse 3
C
So I said, what's your name
F
And she said, you're all the same
Dm
C
So I said, don't act so strange
Verse 4
seen only once in her life
F
But stars over girls parts on cold
cut she sees every night
C
She said, somewhere in my tattooed
jungle you will find my mum
F
But she will disown me should she
ever learn what I've done
Verse 5
C
And she said, what became
Dm
C
All I got was shame
F
And she said, you're all to blame
Dm
C
And then her eyes said, don't
Verse 6
you leave me standing on my own
F
Can't you see that the street
side is my home
C
I'm held by men at night
but still I'm cold
F
I'm so lonely but you know I'm not alone,
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
Verse 7
C
She had hair like a willow tree choked
at the side of the road
F
Cardboard boxes for pillows she
weeps as she reaps what she sows
Verse 8
C
So I asked her if one day she'd
mind joining me in my grave
F
You know like them big ones you see
with the family name
Verse 9
Am
But she said all she'd ever been
Em
Was a hoar and a slave
G
If she had any soul left to save
Verse 10
C
And she said, why do you care
F
So I said, because I did
Dm
C
Ever since I saw you standing there
F
Well, I couldn't help but stare
Dm
C
And then her eyes said
Verse 11
don't you
leave me standing on my own
F
Can't you see that the street
side is my home
C
I'm held by men at night
but still I'm cold
F
I'm so lonely but you know I'm not alone,
I'm not alone, I'm not alone
Verse 12
C
And she must have had the most
lonely face I've ever known
F
Yeah, she must have had the most
Dm
lonely face I've ever known
Em
Well, I tried to hold on but my grip
Am
it just was not that strong
G
And I can still see her eyes as
Verse 13
she fell and she fell for so long
G
C
If you ever see her I hope you
G
C
succeed where I failed
F
You know I cried for the cutey of kings
cross the day she derailed
C
Oh, somebody please can you save
her and take her away
F
You know London will kill her,
you can't let the smoke have its way
