And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms.

Race around this town

Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny.

I will not have him treat me this way.
A C#m
And Mother, I blame you.

Therein trying to be you again
A C#m
For I have become you,
G Bm
And I know every part of the game
A C#m
And Father, I love you
G Bm
But how can you watch as I push her away?
A C#m G Bm
I cannot forgive you for bringing me up this way.
[same as first chorus]
Maybe I'll write them a story
And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms.
Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fall unawake again.
And until you calm me down
I race around this town
until you calm me down
I race around this town
Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny
I will not have them treat me this way.
[same as first verse]
So tap at my window,
Maybe I might let you in.
I don't think I will though,
My heart's taken, I won't tell you again.
