Race around this town
[Am]Trying to fin[F]d, [Am]oh, an emotion you canno[F]t deny.

[A]And Mother, I bl[C#m]ame you.
[G]Therein trying to be you aga[Bm]in
[A]For I have becom[C#m]e you,
[G]And I know every part of the gam[Bm]e

Maybe I'll write them a story
And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms.
Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fall unawake again.
And until you calm me down
I race around this town
until you calm me down
I race around this town
Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny
I will not have them treat me this way.
(same as first verse)
So tap at my window,
Maybe I might let you in.
I don't think I will though,
My heart's taken, I won't tell you again.
