[Intro]
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 C
It's the tale of a young girl who 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 Em
But she said all she'd ever been was a whore and a slave
Dm G
And she didn't know if she had any 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 Am
Well I tried to hold on but my grip 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
C
