Acoustic Guitar:
G D A
G D A
Well she was precious like a flower
She grew wild, wild but innocent
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
She was everything beautiful and different
G D A
Stupid boy... you can't fence that in
Stupid boy... it's like holdin' back the wind
G D A
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans
G D
She never even knew she had a choice
Bm A G
And that's what happens when the only voice
D A
She hears is telling her she can't
