 C#m      G#m                  F#m      G#m
Many too many have stood where I stand
 C#m      G#m                F#m      G#m
Many more,  will stand here too
 F#                    C#
I think what I find strange is the way
      D#m              G               F#
You built me up and knocked me down again
 C#m          G#m             F#m      G#m
The part was fun but now it's over
 C#m      G#m                F#m      G#m
Why can't I just leave the stage?
 F#              C#
Maybe that's because you securely
  D#m               G                D
Locked me up and threw away the key
       G  D                  G
Oh mama,  please would you find the key
 D            G  D                  G            D F#m
Oh pretty mama,  please won't you let me go free
 B                  F#m  B                   F#m     B
I thought I was lucky,   I thought that I'd got it made
             F#m     G#
How could I be so blind?
 C#m          G#m      F#m    G#m
You said goodbye on a corner
 C#m      G#m                F#m    G#m
That I thought led to the straight
 F#               C#
You set me on a firmly laid
     D#m                 G                   D
And simple course and then removed the road
       G  D                G
Oh mama,  please help me find my way
 D            G  D                  G               D F#m
Oh pretty mama,  please lead me through the next day
 B                  F#m  B                   F#m     B
I thought I was lucky,   I thought that I'd got it made
             F#m     G#
How could I be so blind?   Oh oh
