Most Lonely Face

C
The 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                      
It's the tale of a young girl who 
                          C
once was the talk of the town

[Verse]
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 harm's way
    F
And she looked at me with those eyes
 so what could I say

[Chorus 1]
          C
So I said what's your name
                    F
And she said you're all the same
                C
So I said don't act so strange
       F
I only asked your name

[Verse]
C
The stars in the night sky she'd 
seen only once in her life
    F
But stars over girls parts on call 
cards she sees every night
         C
She said somewhere in my tattoo 
jungle you will find my mum
    F
But she will disown me should she 
ever learn what I've done

[Chorus 1]
             C
And she said what became
      F
Of my promised fame

      C
All I got was shame
                    F
And she said you're all to blame

[Chorus 2]
                       C
And then her eyes said don't you 
leave me standing on my own
F
Can't you see the streetside 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
F
I'm not alone
F
I'm not alone

[Verse]
        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
     C
So I asked her if one day she mind 
joining me in my grave
    F
You know like the big ones you see 
with the family name

[Bridge 1]
    Am                             
But she said all she'd ever been 
                Em
was a whore and a slave
    Dm                             
And she didn't know if she had any 
             G
soul left to save

[Chorus 1]
             C
And she said why'd you care
          F
So I said because I dared
                     C
Ever since I saw you standing there
                F
Well I couldn't help but stare

[Chorus 2]
                       C
And then her eyes said don't you 
leave me standing on my own
F
Can't you see the streetside 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
F
I'm not alone
F
I'm not alone

[Bridge 2]
    C
And she must have had the most 
lonely face I've ever known
     F
Yeah she must have had the most 
lonely face I've ever known
       Em                          
Well I tried to hold on but my grip
                      Am
 it just was not that strong
      G
I can still see her eyes as she fell
 and she fell for so long

[Verse]
   C
If you ever see her I hope you 
succeed where I failed
  F
You know I cried for the cutie of 
King's 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
