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

A                    D                       A               D 
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  
A              D                A          D 
   But they're twisted and they will never be

   If I treated you mean

   I really didn't mean to  
A                   D            A                    D 
But you know how it is and how a pregnancy can change you  


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



A           D 
Maybe I was mean  
A                  D 
But I really don't think so  
A                D           A     D 
You asked if I'm scared and I said so

Everyone can see what's going on  
A                      D                        A                           D 
They laugh `cause they know they're untouchable not because what I said was wrong  
A               D            A                  D 
Whatever it may bring I will live by my own policies  
       A                  D                 A              D 
I will sleep with a clear conscience I will sleep in peace  



A           D 
Maybe I was mean  
A                  D 
But I really don't think so  
A                 D          A     D 
You asked for the truth and I told you  


A                 D

They will be exposed  
A             D 
They've got a severe case of  
    A             D 
The emperor's new clothes  
    A             D  
The emperor's new clothes  
    A             D 
The emperor's new clothes
