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
