Oh, I just don't know where to begin

She says she can't go home

without a chapter one

There's so many fish in the sea

That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
         D                 F#m7-5/C F#7-5/A          G    G/f#
But they keep you hanging on - they say you4re so young

It's the words that we don't say that scare me so

There's so many people to see
G       G/f#                          Em7           A
So many people you can check upon and add to your collection
          D                   F#m5-7/C F#m5-7/A   G     G/f#
