Intro  G  C  G  C

G		D	C		G
She hasn`t had time to learn about this world
	       D	      C
She takes each day the way it comes
G		D	      C	            G
And she can get sad but she`s just a little girl
		D	     C   D   G
She doesn`t ask much from anyone....


		    C	          G   Em7
But what she wants     is you and me
	A7   Am7		D7   G
Love at home    like it used to be
		   C		G    Em7
And what she wants   is what we were
	   A7    C         D   G     C   G
The way we loved   when we had her
