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                     F

I may be crazy but I can't contemplate being trapped between the
doctor
            C         Bm
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.

G
And then they told me I could be somebody
      C
if I didn't let too much get in my way.
          G            Em7            C    G
And I tried so hard just to be myself,
                       C          G
but I keep on fading away.
              Em                A                 C                    G
Until the lights went out, I didn't know what to do.
                F                                 C                     Bm
If I could fool myself, then maybe I'd fool you too.

(chorus)

G
I wouldn't say that I was raised on romance.
C
Let's not get stuck in the past.
                 G        Em7    C                       G
I love you more than everything in the world.
                       C             G
I don't expect that will last.
Em                                        C              G
They told me everything was guaranteed.
F                                             C             Bm
Somebody somewhere must've lied to me.

(chorus)
