Tom: G
 
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. 

Chorus:
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 (Repeat And Fade)
