She asked me, "Son, when I grow old, 
     Am           G 
Will you buy me a house of gold? 
    C                F 
And when your father turns to stone, 
     C        G       C 
Will you take care of me?"  



F      A7 
I will make you 
Dm       Bbm            F 
Queen of everything you see 
                    C 
I'll put you on the map 
                 F            C 
I'll cure you of disease 



      C             F 
Let's say we up and left this town 
     Am               G 
And turned our future upside-down 
      C                 F 
We'll make pretend that you and me 
      C     G     C 
Lived ever after, happily

And since we know that dreams are dead 
    Am                  G 
And life turns plans up on their head

   C      G       C 
So I just might become someone
