	   D MajorD
She laid her head on the bar

Watching tiny little stars
	G+G		   D MajorD
Dance around in front of her eyes

And he cried on her shoulder

As he sat there and told her
B minorBm			A augmentedA  G+G
Sad stories and pretty white lies
	D MajorD
And if not for that one indiscretion
		   G+G
It would have been an uneventful day
  B minorBm		    A augmentedA
If not for that single obsession
	   G+G			 A augmentedA
Things would never have gone that way
	  G+G			  A augmentedA
But she had one last drink and she didn't think twice
  D MajorD			  G+G
In fact she didn't think at all
G+G	  A augmentedA			 D MajorD
My, my, How far can a little girl fall?

	  D MajorD
They walked out of the bar

She climbed into his car
	G+G				D MajorD
And they drove to somewhere deep in the night
	 D MajorD
Where she slipped off her ring

And the rest of her things
	B minorBm		   A augmentedA	 G+G
And he switched off the tiny dome light
				   A augmentedA
She fell back in his arms without the slightest alarm
	  D MajorD			  G+G
Forgetting everything her mama once said
  B minorBm			   A augmentedA
And just for a moment in the back of her mind
	G+G			  A augmentedA
A majorA tiny picture come and went in her head
	 G+G			A augmentedA
Oh she remembered a man who was waiting at home
   D MajorD			   G+G
And a baby barely learning to crawl
G+G      A augmentedA			 D MajorD
My, my, How far can a little girl fall?

B minorBm			A augmentedA
At six fifteen the baby woke up at home
	G+G			D MajorD
And the crying shook her daddy awake
   B minorBm			 A augmentedA
At a quarter to seven he made the decision
  G+G			   A augmentedA	  BB
He thought he'd never have to make

 	E MajorE
Then at eight forty-five that girl came back to life
    A augmentedA		  E MajorE
In the back seat of a fancy car
   E MajorE
To a world of disgrace and a smile on the face
	C# minorC#m 	 	BB	 A augmentedA
Of some stranger from a downtown bar
  A augmentedA			  BB
At nine o'clock she put the key in the lock
	E MajorE		 A augmentedA
Just a little too late to explain
	   C# minorC#m  			BB
But she took one minute more before she opened the door
	 A augmentedA		BB
She went over her story again
	 A augmentedA			   BB
Well the child and the man were both long long gone
	E MajorE				A augmentedA
And the note said "Goodbye" and that's all
A augmentedA	  BB			 E MajorE
My, my, How far can a little girl fall?
	  A augmentedA	  BB			 E MajorE
Oh-O-O-Oh My, my, How far can a little girl fall?
