GEm7GEm7GEm7 Tell me how long must I keep wanting things D7G Needing things when I have so much F#mAmEm7 There are many girls who have much less than me D7 Day by day, they make their way and find more in life than I can see
Tell me when will I learn to resist wanting things Touching things that say do not touch People that I meet seem to think I’m strong They don’t see inside of me, so they don’t know I’m weak and often wrong
