[Verse 1]
[C]Oh [G]you[C]r pictures they don't[D]
[G]really do [Am]you justice little g[E]irl
For you're [Am]careful not to [F]let the camera
[Am]touch your private [E]world
And there's [C]just a hint of sad[G]ness
in [Am]your smile through the [E]dark
As you [Am]slip your dress off slowly
[F]for the[Am] sailor or the[E] clerk
[Am]And it could have been so different,
and at times you feel [D]bad
[Am]For you really did have something
that the others [D]never had
And [C]the circle [F]turns and [C]turns and [Dm]turns [F]so mad,
little girl
[C][G][C][Am]

[Verse 2]
[D]
[C]Ah you must have been just fif[G]teen
when you [Am]made your mind [E]up first
That you'd [Am]make it in [F]the movies
and you [Am]couldn't lose the [E]thirst
And [C]it took you to the at[G]tic where
the [Am]Agent King holds [E]Court
And [Am]his courtesans are f[F]ully
paid [Am]up losers of a so[E]rt
[Am]He looks at you and tell[E]s you that
[Am]you just might get the [D]part[F#dim]
[D]But [Am]you don't get things for nothing and he
doesn't want your [F#dim]heart[D]
And [C]the circle turn[G]s and t[C]urns and turns[G] so[F] mad,

[Verse 3]
[C]Mmm, you made it to the silver[G] screen
and [Am]yet you're not a s[E]tar
[Am]And advertising [F]corsets
[Am]didn't get you too [E]far
But [C]money has its fa[G]vourites
and [Am]yours went back to [E]them
So you mod[Am]elled in [F]a studio in
[Am]Greek Street for the [E]rent
[Am]There you met Anto[E]nio,
your [Am]lov e[C]r from a[Am]far[D][F#dim]

[C]the money for his [Am]car[F#dim]
And the [C]circle turn[G]s and turns a[F]nd turns so fast,
little girl

[Verse 4]
[C][G]
Ah, [C]your pictures they don't
[G]really do [Am]you justice [E]any more
For [Am]they're crumpled now [F]and faded
and were [Am]taken long [E]ago
And that [C]faintly coy expres[G]sion
has now [Am]left without [E]a trace
Ah there's [Am]little of it bur[F]ied
in the [Am]ruins of your [E]face
It [Am]could have been so different,
and at times you feel [D]bad
[F#dim]For you really di[Am]d have something that

little [C]girl

and [Dm]it's [F]too bad, lit[C]tle girl[G]
