By a lamp post
Cadd9                                                G

She never lets me in
D
 Only tell me where's she's been
Cadd9                                G

Let her go,     let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be,     let her be

I wanted to look for you

You walked in
D
 I didn't know just what I should do
    Cadd9                                      G
