In The Shelter(Chords)

	        Intro:  A  E    A  E   
 
E               
    In the shelter 
                                              A 
    In the mornin' as the sun is brightly gleaming 
F#m   
    I heard her crying out,  'What is it all about? 
      E                    A               E 
    I just don't know, but I can't go back home' 
 
E  
    Lonely princess 
                                                A 
    All the days out on your own are growing empty 
F#m 
    Nothing is going well   
                                E 
    If you could only tell them how you feel   
         A                  E  
    But they're too real to understand 
 

   A              
     Too many trite expressions 
                                 E 
     Ending in forced rejections long ago 
   A     
     To many innocent faces 
                                E 
     In too many far out places somethings wrong  
                          B 
     Let me tell you that somethings wrong 
                    A                       E 
     It's been that way so long, and it's a shame
 
 
On the street car 
To the city where she knows she may lose it all 
Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time 
And knowing well that this could be her final fall 
 
Past the boutique 
To the alley down the river, people pass her by  
She sits on a big gray rock, takes off her boots and socks 
Not knowin' what she will do next just starts to cry 
 

   A  
     Too many wild rejections 
                               E 
     Endin' in angry questions from her dad 
   A 
     Too many T.V. dinners 
                                      E 
     Ah, everyone loves a winner, but she was lost 
     A                 E 
     No one knows the trials she had
 
 
(Repeat first verse, then) 
 
E                              
Hell, I just don't know,  
    A               E      
but I can't go back home   
              
A  E    A  E
