Most Lonely Face

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

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

          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

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

             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

                       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

        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

    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

             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

                       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

    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

   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
