I don't think I will though

My heart's taken, I won't tell him again.

Maybe I'll write him a story

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	     F	Am			F
Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny.

I will not have him treat me this way.


A               C#m
And Mother, I blame you.

G			    Bm
Therein trying to be you again

A               C#m
For I have become you,

G				Bm
And I know every part of the game

A                C#m
And Father, I love you

G			             Bm
But how can you watch as I push her away?

A	       C#m	      G		    Bm
I cannot forgive you for bringing me up this 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.
