Mom, I'm tired 
       Am                     F 
Can I sleep in your  house tonight? 
C             G 
Mom, is it alright 
      Am                 G 
If I stay for a year or two? 

C              G 
Mom, I’ll be quiet 
         Am                   F                     
It would be just to sleep at night 
     Am             G       
And I’ll leave once I figure out 
        F           G       C 
How to pay for my own life too 

C              G 
Mom, would you wash my back? 
     Am                    F 
This once, and then we can forget 
          C              G 
And I’ll leave what I’m chasing 
         Am/F         G    C 
For the other girls to pursue 

C       G 
Mom, am I still young? 
       F           G          C 
Can I dream for a few months more?
