Little girl
                  C    Em Am
Don't you forget her face
              C             Am
Laughing away your tears
          Am            D
When she was the one
         D             G  
Who felt all the pain
G
Little girl
              C   Em  Am
Never forget her eyes
             C          Am
Keep them alive inside
                  D
I promise to try
                 G
But it's not the same
               C             Am
Keep your head held high
                   D
Ride like the wind
           C         Am
Never look behind
               C
Life isn't fair
                        Am
That's what you said
                      G
So i try not to care
G
Little girl
              C     Em Am
Don't run away so fast
              C            Am
I think you forget to kiss
                   D  G
Kiss her goodbye
             C         Am                             D
Will she see me cry when i stumble and fall?
             C            Am                          C
Does she hear my voice in the night when i call?
                            Am
Wipe away all your tears
Am
It's gonna be
G
Aright
C   Em               Am
i fought to be so strong
                 Em
i guess you knew
          C
i was afraid
C
You'd go away too

Little girl
                       C   Em   Am
You've got to forget the past
                       C
And learn to forgive me
Am             D
I promise to try
                        G
But it feels like a lie
              C         Am                             D
Don't let memory play games with your mind
             C            Am          C       
She's a faded smile frozen in time
C                    Am                      G
I'm still hangin' on but I'm doin' it wrong
         C                G
Can't kiss her goodbye 
         Am             G
But i promise to try
