   It seems years since you held the baby while I wrecked the bedroom 
C                  F                  C                        F
   You said it was dangerous after Sunday and I knew you loved me

How could I possibly know what I want when I was only twenty-one?

   There's millions of people to offer advice and say how I should be 
C              F                C          F
   But they're twisted and they will never be

   You will always be 


Chorus
C                   F
   If I treated you mean 
C                  F
   I really didn't mean to 
C                   F            C                    F
But you know how it is and how a pregnancy can change you 


Verse 2
C               F                         C                 F
I see plenty of clothes that I like but I won't go anywhere nice for a while 
      C                  F                         C                   F
All I want to do is just sit here and write it all down and rest for a while 
C               F                 C                  F
I can't bear to be in another city one where you are not 
C                 F                   C                         F
I would return to nothing without you if I'm your girlfriend or not 


Chorus
C           F
Maybe I was mean 
C                  F
But I really don't think so 
C                F           C     F
You asked if I'm scared and I said so 


Verse 3

Everyone can see what's going on

They laugh `cause they know they're untouchable not because what I said was wrong 
C               F            C                  F
Whatever it may bring I will live by my own policies 
       C                  F                 C              F
I will sleep with a clear conscience I will sleep in peace 


Chorus

But I really don't think so 
C                 F          C     F
You asked for the truth and I told you

Through their own words 
C              F
They will be exposed
