E                        E    E                  E 
Maybe someday I'll be strong, maybe it won't be long 
A                      A     E                                E 
I'll be the one who's tough, you'll be the one who's got it rough 
F#m                   A                     E   E 
It won't be long and maybe I'll be real strong 
 
Maybe I'll do things right, maybe I'll start tonight 
You'll learn to cry like me, baby let's just wait and see 
Maybe I'll start tonight and do things right 
 
A                     A           A                    E  E 
You'll control me and oh so boldly rule me 'till I'm free 
          A                   A               A                 B 
'Till the pain that shakes me finally makes me get up off of my knees 
B 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
 
Maybe I'll be fast as you, maybe I'll break hearts too 
But I think that you'll slow down when your turn to hurt comes around 
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you...awwwww...

You'll control me and oh so boldly rule me 'till I'm free 
'Til the pain that shakes me finally makes me get up off of my knees 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
 
Maybe I'll be fast as you, maybe I'll break hearts too 
But I think you'll slow down when your turn to hurt comes around 
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you 
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you...ahhh, s'okay (?)

TAB: 
 
Here's the main riff for        The A measures in the middle 
the E measures:                 of the verse (NOT the end) are 
                                pretty much the same: 
 
E ----------------|             E ----------------| 
B ----------------|             B ----------------| 
G ----------------|             G --------0-------| 
D --------0-------|             D ----------2-4-2-| 
A ----------2-4-2-|             A 0-0-3-4---------| 
E 0-0-3-4---------|             E ----------------| 
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .                 ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . 
 
I think the B in the bridge is like this: 
 
E ----------------|----------------| 
B ----------------|----------------| 
G --------2-------|----------------| 
D ----1-4---4-6-4-|----------------| 
A 2-2-------------|2-2-0-0---------| 
E ----------------|--------4-4-2-2-| 
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . 
 
I'm not at all sure about the A measures 
in the bridge, but I think they might be 
something like this: 
 
E ----------------| 
B ----------------| 
G ----------------| 
D 2-2-4-2-5-2-4-2-| 
A 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| 
E ----------------|
