Chords
Intro | G | G | C | C | G Stop thief; you're gonna come to grief C if you don't take a little more care. G Em7 C G You're gonna get more than the family plan C G from this one shoestring affair. Em A C G I may be crazy but I can't contemplate F C Bm being trapped between the doctor and the magistrate. G One of these days I'm gonna pay it back, pay it back, C one of these days. G One of these days I'm gonna pay it back, pay it back, C one of these days. And then they told me I could be somebody if I didn't let too much get in my way. And I tried so hard just to be myself, but I keep on fading away. Until the lights went out, I didn't know what to do. If I could fool myself, then maybe I'd fool you too. chorus I wouldn't say that I was raised on romance. Let's not get stuck in the past. I love you more than everything in the world. I don't expect that will last. They told me everything was guaranteed. Somebody somewhere must've lied to me. Chorus, repeat to fade
