Let Her Down Easy

           G#
You're top man on scene
    C#                    Fm
You don't think life comes   in between
    A#m        G#        C#   G#
But hey, she's just seventeen
    C#                 G#
She feels that she's a worldly girl
    C#              Fm
But man you've been around the world
A#m    D#          G#            C#   G#
She is just some worried Daddy's girl

[Chorus]
D#   A#m
Even though there's nothing I can say
         D#
To cheat you and nature any way
             G#
Let her down easy
    C#            Fm      A#m
Her heart is on a dime
D#           G#
Let her down easy
    A#m         D#  G#
And she'll grow up     in time

[Verse 2]
            G#
In her strawberry eyes
    C#               Fm
The way she sees you   signifies
             A#m       D#        G#       C# G#
That she's susceptible to your  velvet lies
    C#          G#
But if you must lay her down
      C#                      Fm
May a butterscotch glow be her  dressing gown
    A#m D#                     G#       C#   G#
And please do not lead her on when, on when, you leave town

[Chorus]
D#   A#m
Even though there's nothing I can say
         D#
To cheat you and nature any way
             G#
Let her down easy
    C#              Fm      A#m
Her heart is on the line
D#         G#
Let her down easy
    A#m         D# G#
And you'll grow up  in time

[Verse 3]
        G#
She's a woman now
       C#         Fm
With a daughter to   make her proud
       A#m             G#         C#  G#
In her crayon world of   paper clouds
    C#      G#
She still remembers you
    C#                Fm
The first boy that she   gave it to
        A#m   D#   G#    C#              G#
And she laughs at how    little then she knew

[Chorus]
D#   A#m
Even though there's nothing I can say
         D#
To cheat you and nature any way
             G#
Let her down easy
    C#                  Fm      A#m
Her heart is on a dime
D#           G#
Let her down easy
    A#m         D#      G#
And she'll grow up  in time
