[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
E
She inches along on the rim of the world,
A E
Always about to go over,
A E
How she can manage I never will know,
F#7 B7
To get from one day to the other.
E B E
Scrounging a buck or a bed
G# C#m
Or the share of a roof for her head,
A E
This nobody's child, this precarious girl,
B7 E
Who lives on the rim of the world.

[Verse 2]
E
She looks like a princess in somebody's rags,
A E
She dreams of a world without danger,
A E
Climbing the stairs to a room of her own
F#7 B7
With someone who isn't a stranger.
E B E
But now she eats what she can,
G# C#m
And accepts what there is for a man,
A E
This nobody's child, this precarious girl,
B7 E
Who lives on the rim of the world.

[Verse 3]
E
She inches along on the rim of the world,
A E
Always about to go over,
A E
How she can manage I never will know,
F#7 B7
To get from one day to the other.
E B E
Scrounging a buck or a bed
G# C#m
Or the share of a roof for her head,
A E
This nobody's child, this precarious girl,
B7 E
Who lives on the rim of the world.
