Tap At My Window

Capo 1
[All chords relative to capo]
He taps at my window
Willing that I let him in
I don't think I will though
My heart's taken, I won't tell him again.

Maybe I'll write him 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
* * *
Race around this town
Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny.
I will not have him treat me this way.
And Mother, I blame you.
Therein trying to be you again
For I have become you,
And I know every part of the game
And Father, I love you
But how can you watch as I push her away?
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.
