Let Her Down Easy

You're top [D]man on the scene
[G]You don't think life come[D]s in between
But [G]hey, she's just[D] seventeen[G]  [D]
[G]She feels that she's a [D]worldly girl
[G]But man you've been a[D]round the world
[G]She is just some worried[D] daddy's girl[G]  [D]    [G]
Even [Em]though there's nothing I can say
To cheat [D]you and nature any [G]way

Let her down [D]easy
[G]Her heart is on a [D]dime [G]
Let her down [D]easy
And [G]you'll grow up in [D]time [G]   [D]     [G]

In her straw[D]berry eyes
The [G]way she sees you[D] signifies
That she's[G] susceptible to your [D]velvet lies [G]   [D]
[G]But if you must [D]lay her down
May a [G]butterscotch glow be her [D]dressing gown
And please do not [G]lead her on when you[D] leave town[G]  [D]    [G]
Even [Em]though there's nothing I can say
To cheat [D]you and nature any [G]way

Let her down [D]easy
[G]Her heart is on th[D]e lin[G]e
Let her down [D]easy
And [G]you'll grow up in [D]time [G]   [D]     [G]

She's a [D]woman now
With a [G]daughter to [D]make her proud
In her [G]crayon world of[D] paper clouds[G]  [D]
[G]She still re[D]members you
The [G]first boy that she [D]gave it to
And she [G]laughs at how little[D] then she knew[G]  [D]    [G]

(Talk)
Her daughter's five and her grandfather adores her (of course)

Let her down [D]easy
[G]Her heart is on th[D]e lin[G]e
Let her down [D]easy
And [G]you'll grow up in [D]time [G]   [D]     [G]       [D]         [G]           [D]
