C#m         G#m                  F#m      G#m
     Many too many have stood where I stand
  C#m         G#m                F#m      G#m
     Many more,  will stand here too
   F#                      C#
     I think what I find strange is the way
          D#m              G               F#
     You built me up and knocked me down again
  C#m             G#m             F#m      G#m
     The part was fun but now it's over
  C#m         G#m                F#m      G#m
     Why can't I just leave the stage?
   F#                C#
     Maybe that's because you securely
      D#m               G                D
     Locked me up and threw away the key
           G  D                  G
     Oh mama,  please would you find the key
    D             G  D                  G             D    F#m
     Oh pretty mama,  please won't you let me go free
    B                   F#m  B                   F#m     B
     I thought I was lucky,   I thought that I'd got it made
                 F#m     G#
     How could I be so blind?
  C#m             G#m      F#m    G#m
     You said goodbye on a corner
  C#m         G#m                F#m    G#m
     That I thought led to the straight
   F#                 C#
     You set me on a firmly laid
         D#m                 G                   D
     And simple course and then removed the road
           G  D                G
     Oh mama,  please help me find my way
    D             G  D                  G                 D    F#m
     Oh pretty mama,  please lead me through the next day
    B                   F#m  B                   F#m     B
     I thought I was lucky,   I thought that I'd got it made
                 F#m     G#
     How could I be so blind?   Oh oh
