Verse 2

Lonely princess,

all the days out on your own

Are growing empty

Nothin' is goin' well

If you could only tell them

how you feel

They're too real to understand

Verse 3
G 
Too many small suggestions
Ending in forced repressions
D 
G 
long ago
Too many innocent faces
In too many far out places,
D 
something's wrong
A 
Let me tell you that something's wrong
G 
It's been that way so long,
and it's a shame
D 

Verse 4
G 
D 
On the street car
To the city were she knows that
G 
Em 
she may lose it all
Riding for just a dime,
takin' her own sweet time
D 
G 
And knowing well this could
D 
be her final fall
Past the boutique,
to the alley down the river
G 
Em 
People pass her by
She sits on the big gray rocks,
takes off her boots and socks
D 
G 
Not knowing what she will do next
D 
Just starts to cry

Verse 5
G 
To many wild rejections
D 
G 
Ending in angry questions from her dad
To many TV dinners
Ah, everyone loves a winner
D 
But she has lost
G 
D 
No ones knows the trials she had

Verse 6
D 
In the shelter
In the morning as the sun was
G 
Em 
brightly gleaming
I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
D 
I just don't know,
G 
D 
but I  can't go back home
Hell, I just don't know,
G 
D 
but I  can't go back home"
