How Far Can A Little Girl Fall

She laid her [D]head on the bar

Watching tiny little stars
Dance ar[G]ound in front of her [D]eyes

And he cried on her shoulder

As he sat there and told her
[Bm]Sad stories and pretty w[A]hite [G]lies
And if n[D]ot for that one indiscretion
It would have been an [G]uneventful day
If [Bm]not for that single [A]obsession
Things would [G]never have gone that [A]way
But she had [G]one last drink and she [A]didn't think twice
In [D]fact she didn't think at [G]all
[G]My, my, How [A]far can a little girl [D]fall?

They walked [D]out of the bar

She climbed into his car
And they[G] drove to somewhere deep in the [D]night
Where she [D]slipped off her ring

And the rest of her things
And he s[Bm]witched off the tiny [A]dome [G]light
She fell back in his arms without the [A]slightest alarm
Forgetting [D]everything her mama once [G]said
And [Bm]just for a moment in the [A]back of her mind
A tiny p[G]icture come and went in her [A]head
Oh she re[G]membered a man who was [A]waiting at home
And a [D]baby barely learning to [G]crawl
[G]My, my, How [A]far can a little girl [D]fall?

[Bm]At six fifteen the baby [A]woke up at home
And the [G]crying shook her daddy a[D]wake
At a [Bm]quarter to seven he [A]made the decision
He [G]thought he'd never have to [A]make [B]

Then at [E]eight forty-five that girl came back to life
In the [A]back seat of a fancy [E]car
To a [E]world of disgrace and a smile on the face
Of some [C#m]stranger from a [B]downtown [A]bar
At [A]nine o'clock she put the [B]key in the lock
Just a l[E]ittle too late to [A]explain
But she took [C#m]one minute more before she [B]opened the door
She went [A]over her story [B]again
Well the [A]child and the man were both [B]long long gone
And the [E]note said "Goodbye" and that's a[A]ll
[A]My, my, How [B]far can a little girl [E]fall?
Oh-O-O-Oh  [A]My, my, H[B]ow far can a little gi[E]rl fall?
