[Verse]
Am7
Her old flower
tattoos are
C G
ragged and worn
Am7
Her T-shirt and
sneakers are
C G
tattered and torn
Am7
She could make
a few
dollars through
C G
peddling porn
Fmaj7
A forgotten girl
who's
living next door
F Am7
He's the boy on
the
sidewalk you're
C G
stepping around
Am7
A teaspoon and
tin foil are
C
spread on the
G
ground
Am7
Needless to say,
he'll
C G
forget for a while
Fmaj7
But the pain will
be
worse next time
around
