Em                                A
   There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
F#m7                    Bm
     She's got a broken heart
Em                               A
   She's not the kind to take you down for long
F#m7                        Bm
     She knows and plays it smart

Em                  A      F#m7            Bm
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
Em                    A              F#m7      Bm
(Ah--) She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
Em                    A              F#m7        Bm
(Ah--) She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Em                                     A7
(Ah--) Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh

  Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D             G            D            G
  Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
         A
All your life
         G  C    G   Em  F#m7  Bm
You were on your own

Bm                  G       D
If you want you can ride my train
    F#                                 D
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
       G                 Em7  A7  D
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
           D7                 G
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'

   Em7  A  F#m7  Bm     Em7  A7  D
Oh,        oh,       oh,     oh

D                 G            D              G
