[Verse 1]
G G/F# A C
people keep asking me why i do things how i do
G G/F# A C
and all of this measuring influence i forgot you
G G/F# A C
you and me hiding behind the monhegan hotel
G G/F# A C
and you told me things that nobody around me would tell
G G/F# A C
that was the summer that everyone touched me at once
G G/F# A C
one day they ignored me the next they were all down my pants
G G/F# A C
you were in bed with me safe before anyone else
G G/F# A C
you opened beside me and held me when i needed help
[Chorus]
Em D C Em D C
you and me lying together at night in my room
Em D C G A C C
you've been inside me forever, judy blume
[Verse 2]
G G/F# A C
i couldn't carry a tune but i thought i could sing
G G/F# A C
and no-one had told me that thoughts were a good or bad thing
G G/F# A C
but i started noticing grown-ups would smile and cringe
G G/F# A C
but you'd taught me that you could say anything you could think
[Bridge]
Em D C
i don't remember my friends from gymnastics class
Em D C
but i remember when deenie was at the school
Em D C

Em D C
margaret bored counting hats in the synagogue
Em D C

Em D C
tony was watching his so-called friend shoplifting
Em D C
all them lived in my head quietly whispering :
Em D C

Em D C

Em D C
all i remember is lying and being afraid
Em D C
but i won't forget katherine and michael going all the way
Em D C
karen pretending to puke so her dad would stay
Em D C
steph on the scale in the bathroom alone that day
Em D C
margaret arguing with god while she masturbated
Em D C
all of them stacked on my shelf like a love letter
Em D C
all of them saying: amanda you know better!
Em D C
you are not to blame
Em D C
the world's a vicious place
Em D C
so go on and think how you want
Em D C
you will not be alone in your thoughts
Em D C D C D G A C C
well you will but you wont in a way cause a girl thought it too in a book that the library bought
