A G F# E F# G
Maybe I'll write him a story

A G F# E
G
And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms.

A G F# E F# G
Maybe I'll wake up lonely

A G F#
and fall unawake again.

A G F# E F# G
And until you calm me down

A G F#
Race around this town

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

[E]I will not have him treat me this way.

[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

[A]And Father, I lov[C#m]e you

[G]But how can you watch as I push her a[Bm]way?

[A]I cannot forgiv[C#m]e you for bring[G]ing me up this[Bm] way.

(same as first chorus)
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.
