Cm F Dm Eb
Mother, Father, I think that I would rather
Cm F Dm Eb
Stay at home with you for another year
Cm F Dm Eb
That building's so tall and it makes me feel so small
Cm F Dm Eb
That I might get lost and simply disappear.
Cm F
Evil smiles won't change my mind,
Gm
I'm worried an I'm not the worrying kind.
Cm F
Why's that man rubbung his hands
Gm F
Looking at me writing down his plans?
Cm F Dm Eb
Today I have been moulding plasticine
Cm F Dm Eb
And I made a little man who looked just like me
Cm F Dm Eb
His limbs were so weak and he couldn't move his mouth to speak
Cm F Dm Eb
And I could bend him into any shape I wanted him to be.
Cm F
Evil smiles won't change my mind,
Gm
I'm worried an I'm not the worrying kind.
Cm F
Why's that man rubbung his hands
Gm F
Looking at me writing down his plans?
Cm F
Those kids with the blazers on,
Gm
They went in with names on their elbows.
Cm F
Came home with medals on.
Gm F
Spit it out that's the way the story goes
Cm F
A flying start from the briefcase crew.
Cm F Gm
Oh, you didn't have to teach me like you did
Cm F Gm
But you did.
Cm F Gm
But you did...
Cm F Gm
You did.
Cm F Gm
You did...
