INTRO: G  C  G  C

      G                        C
I was only a girl, when I went out 
on my own
    G                       C
You wrapped me up warm, and just let
 me go
      Em                          
Now I live at the far end of this 
D             G
long distance line
        C                          
And I'm just another one, who's 
      D
gone and left you behind


              G                    
Wish we could look at your 
          C
pictures, all the places you've been
    G                            
You don't think you will, but you 
     C
can see them again
               Em                  
'Cause you can see them through me,
           D                   C
 the brown eyes I got from you
Oh, but now I wish I could give 'em 
        D
back to you


CHORUS:
     Em                   D
This much I can say, this much I can
 do
          C                        
When your heart is empty, I'll try 
   A7          A
to fill it for you

               C                   
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to 
D         G             C  G  C
love from watching you


  G                                
I wish that I could tell you, it'll
 C
 all be alright
        G                    
But you never did believe it, 
             C
through the trials of your life
    Em                      D  
And you and I both know, it just 
        G
isn't true
     C                         
When so much you love, has been 
 D
taken from you


        G                          
And I remember when you told me, if
    C
 we run out of time
    G                       C
How happy you were, just to know 
she'll be mine
       Em                          
When I wrap her up warm, you'll be 
D             G
right next to me
                    C              
'Cause they say the red thread that
                             D
 ties me to you, ties her in me


CHORUS:
     Em                   D
This much I can say, this much I can
 do
          C                        
When your heart is empty, I'll try 
   A7          A
to fill it for you
               C                   
'Cause I'm the girl who learned to 
D         G
love from watching you
