Mom, I'm tired 
       Am                    F 
Can I sleep in your house tonight? 
  C        G 
Mom, is it alright 
      Am                 G 
If I stay for a year or two?

 C             G 
Mom, I’ll be quiet 
         Am                   F 
It would be just to sleep at night 
         Am            G 
And I’ll leave once I figure out 
        F         G        C 
How to pay for my own life too

 C              G 
Mom, would you wash my back? 
      Am                   F 
This once, and then we can forget 
           C              G 
And I’ll leave what I’m chasing 
          F              C 
For the other girls to pursue

G Am G F

 C         G 
Mom, am I still young? 
        F          G          C 
Can I dream for a few months more?
