VERSE 
E               A 
Inna came from Mexico 
E           A      E 
She tried to find a job 
E                       A 
Figured she'd work on rich girls' nails 
E            A      E 
That couldn't be so hard 
 
Inna's got a twelve year old 

And she dies inside 

She can't clear the picture from her eyes 

Of leaving that little girl behind 
 
But she's gonna find a daddy here 

And her girl's gonna come here too 

But just like every other dream so far 

She knows that one probably won't come true 


B7                                          E 
And you can see it in her smile looking at her eyes 
B7                                             E 
Yeah that's right, she keeps her smile when she's about to cry 
B                                       E 
I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith 
B                        A                E 
Inna's friends back home think she's got it made  
 
Every week she sends some money home 
Says things here are going well 
She doesn't let the tears touch the page 
And stain the letter all to hell 
 
I met Inna at a grocery store 
We were waiting in line 
I asked her who the Barbie doll was for 
You'd thought that I had asked her who died 
 
I started to apologize 
I was just trying to kill some time 
I still can't keep Inna from my mind 
But I will never look behind 
 
  
 
'Cause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes 
Yeah that's right, she keeps her smile when she's about to cry 
I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith 
Inna's friends back home - they think she's got it made
