Let Her Cry

(tabbed by *)

G               D
 She sits alone by a lamppost
C (or Csus9)                                 G
 Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
 She says Dad's the one I love the most
 But Stipe's not far behind

She never let's me in
Only tells me where she's been
When she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care
I just run my hands through her dark hair
Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away
And just...

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

This morning I woke up alone
Found a note standing by the phone
Saying, "Baby, 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 and had a beer and felt sorry for myself
Saying...

(chorus)

(solo - 8 bars over verse)

(chorus)

Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I could not believe
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
And I sat down on my couch and cried
Yelling "Oh mama, please help me
Won't you hold my hand"
And...
