VERSE
[E]Inna came from M[A]exico
[E]She tried to[A] find a[E] job
[E]Figured sheâ??d work on [A]rich girlsâ?? nails
[E]That couldnâ?[A]?t be s[E]o hard
Innaâ??s got a twelve year old
And she dies inside
She canâ??t clear the picture from her eyes
Of leaving that little girl behind
But sheâ??s gonna find a daddy here
And her girlâ??s gonna come here too
But just like every other dream so far
She knows that one probably wonâ??t come true
Chorus
[B7]And you can see it in her smile looking at h[E]er eyes
[B7]Yeah thatâ??s right, she keeps her smile when s[E]heâ??s about to cry
[B]I think she knows the truth but she whis[E]pers faith
[B]Innaâ??s friends back hom[A]e think sheâ??s g[E]ot it made
Every week she sends some money home
Says things here are going well
She doesnâ??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
Youâ??d thought that I had asked her who died
I started to apologize
I was just trying to kill some time
I still canâ??t keep Inna from my mind
But I will never look behind
â??Cause I can see it in her smile looking at her eyes
Yeah thatâ??s right, she keeps her smile when sheâ??s about to cry
I think she knows the truth but she whispers faith
Innaâ??s friends back home â?? they think sheâ??s got it made
