Verse 1
(G major) It seems (C major) years since you
held a baby (G major)
While I wrecked the bedroom (C major) (G major)
You said it was (C major) dangerous
after Sunday (G major)
And I knew you loved (C major) me (G major)
He thinks I just (C major) became famous
And that's (G major) what messed me up (C major)
But he's wrong
(G major) How could I possibly know (C major) what I want
When I was (G major) only twenty-one?
There's (C major) (G major) There's millions of people
(C major) To offer advice (G major) and say
how I should be (C major) (G major)
But they're twisted (C major)
And they will (G major) never be (C major)
(G major) any (C major) influence on me
(G major) But you will always (C major) be (G major)
You will (C major) always be
(G major) (C major)
Verse 2
(G major)
If I treated you mean (C major) (G major)
I really didn't (C major) mean to
(G major) But you know how it is (C major)
And how a (G major) pregnancy can change (C major) you

Verse 3
(G major) I see plenty of clothes (C major) that I like
But I won't (G major) go anywhere nice (C major) for a while
All I (G major) want to do is just sit (C major) here
And write it all (G major) down and rest for a while (C major)
(G major) I can't bear to (C major) be in another (F major) city (G major)
One where you are not (C major)
(G major) I would return to nothing (C major) without you (F major)
(G major) If I'm your girlfriend or (C major) not (G major)
Verse 4
Maybe I was mean (C major) (G major)
But I really don't (C major) think so (G major)
You asked if I'm scared (C major)
And I (G major) said (C major) so
Interlude 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 5
Everyone can see (C major) (G major)
what's going on (C major) (G major)
They laugh 'cause they know (C major)
they're untouchable
Not (G major) because what I said
was (C major) wrong (G major)
Whatever it may bring (C major)
I will live (G major) by my own policies (C major)
I will sleep (G major) with a clear con (C major) science
I will sleep (G major) in peace
(C major)
Verse 6
(G major)
Maybe it sounds (C major) mean (G major)
But I really don't (C major) think so (G major)
You asked for the truth (C major) and
I (G major) told (C major) you (G major)
Verse 7
Through their own (C major) words (G major)
They will be exposed (C major) (G major)
They got a severe (C major) case of
The (G major) emperor's new clothes (C major)
The (G major) emperor's new clothes (C major)
The (G major) emperor's new clothes (C major)
The (G major) emperor's new clothes
