In The Shelter Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

A E A E

E In the shelter

  In the mornin' as the sun is brightly gleaAming

F♯m I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?

  I Ejust don't know, but AI can't go back Ehome"

E Lonely princess

  All the days out on your own are growing empAty

F♯m Nothing is going well

  If you could only tell them Ehow you feel

  But tAhey're too real to Eunderstand

Chorus

  A Too many trite expressions

  Ending in forced rejections Elong ago

  A To many innocent faces

  In too many far out places Esomethings wrong

  Let me tell you that Bsomethings wrong

  It's been that Away so long, and it's a Eshame

On the street car

To the city where she knows she may lose it all

Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time

And knowing well that this could be her final fall

Past the boutique

To the alley down the river, people pass her by

She sits on a big gray rock, takes off her boots and socks

Not knowin' what she will do next just starts to cry

Chorus

  A Too many wild rejections

  Endin' in angry questions Efrom her dad

  A Too many T.V. dinners

  Ah, everyone loves a winner, but Eshe was lost

  ANo one knows the tErials she had

(Repeat first verse, then)

EHell, I just don't know, but AI can't go back Ehome A E A E (fade)
