In the Shelter Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
In [D]the shelter
In the morning [A]as [D]the sun
was brightly [G]gleam[Em]ing
I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
I [D]just don't know,
[G]I can't go back h[D]ome"

[Verse 2]
Lonely [D]princess,
all the days out on your own
Are growing [G]empty[Em]
Nothin' is goin' well
If you could only tell them
[D]how you feel
[G]They're too real to [D]understand

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

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

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

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