[D]Remember those
[G]basement parties, your brothers karate
[A]All day rock and roll [D]shows
the [G]homesick blues and the radical views
[A]haven't left a mark on [D]you
You wear it [A]well
A [Em]little late on the [D/F#]time but [G]I don't [A]mind
But I ain't for[G]getting that you were once [A]mine
but I [G]blew it without even [A]trying
Now I'm [G]eating my heart out
[A]trying to get a letter [D]through
[Em]Since you've been [D/F#]gone it's hard to [G]carry on [A]
I want to [D]write about the
[G]birthday gown that I bought in town
as [A]you sat down and cried on the [D]stairs
You knew it didn't
[G]cost the earth, but for what it's worth
you made me [A]feel like a million[D]aire
and you wear it [A]well
[Em]Madame O[D/F#]nassis got [G]nothing on [A]you
[D]Well my [G] coffee's cold, and I'm gettin told
that I [A]gotta get back to [D]work
So when the [G]sun goes low and you're home alone
[A] think of me and try not to [D]laugh
and I wear it [A]well
[Em]I don't [D/F#]mind if you [G]call col[A]lect
But I [D]ain't for[G]getting that you were once [A]mine
but I [G]blew it without even [A]trying
Now I'm [G]eating my heart out
[A]trying to get back to [D]you
[Em]Since that's been [D/F#]said, what's [G]left to ad[A]dress?

    I knew you when you had no one to talk to.

    Now you're moving in high society,
     Am                   F  Am     F    G
    don't forget I know secrets about you.

    I used to think you were on my side,
         F                 G
    but now I'm no longer sure.
F                      Am               G
    I wish I knew what I know now - before.
      Am             G               F                Am      G
    When I give my heart again, I know,  it's gonna last forever.

    You and I were so close in every way,
      Am                         F Am        F   G
    don't time fly when you're loving and laughing.
F                         G
    I've said goodbye so many times,
         F                        G
    the situation ain't all that new.
F                  Am                        G
    Optimism's my best defense, I'll get through without you.
  Am              G              F               Am      G

I won't be that dumb again, I know, it's gotta last forever.
 Am              G              F               Am      G
When I fall in love again, I know, it's gonna last forever.

3. Baby Jane,  I've said all I want to say,
     Am                       F     Am     F    G
    go your own way, don't think twice about me.
             C                   G
     ´Cause I've got ideas and plans of my own,
     Am                     F    Am       F     G
    so long darlin', I'll miss you,  believe me.
F                              G
    The lesson learned was so hard to swallow,
        F                    G
    but I know that I'll survive,
F                           Am                 G
    I'm gonna take a good look at myself and cry.

F                          G
    If I stay here just a little bit longer,

    will the shadows hide the colours of my heart.
    (Blue for the tears, black for the nights).
                Dm                          G
    Well, the stars in the sky don't mean nothing,

Maggie May
Tom: G
    G                 F                          C 
1. Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you.
          G                     F               C
    It's late September and I really should be back at school.
        F               C             F             G
    I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used.
        Dm                       Em       Dm     - G
    Oh Maggie I couldn`t have tried any more.
         Dm                  G             Dm                    G
    You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
          Dm                   G                 C
    You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts.
        G                      F                     C
2. The morning sun, when it's in your face, really shows your age.
          G                  F                        C
    But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything.
        F                  C         F                       G
    I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax.
        Dm                      Em        Dm   - G
    Oh Maggie I couldn`t have tried any more.
         Dm                  G            Dm                    G
    You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone.
          Dm                      G               C
    You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without.
    G                   F                C
3. All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand.
           G                        F                         C
  But you turned into a lover and, mother, what a lover, you wore me out.
     F                        C               F                      G
    All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head.
        Dm                       Em       Dm   - G
    Oh Maggie I couldn`t have tried any more  
         Dm                  G               Dm                  G
    You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone.
          dm                         G                C
    You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if, I tried.

 

   G                   F                        C
4. I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school.
         G               F                          C
    Or steal my daddy's cue, make a living out of playing pool.
        F                           C            F              G
    Or find myself a rock and roll band,  that needs a helping hand.
        Dm                    Em             Dm  -  G
    Oh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face.
                Dm                       G              Dm                  G
    You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be.
         Dm                   G           C     - G-F-C  -  G-F-C
    You stole my heart but I love you anyway.
