verse:

F
Maybe I've forgotten
    Bb
The name and the address
   F
Of everyone I've ever known
     Bb
It's nothing I regret
Dm           Am
Save it for another day
         Bb
It's the school exam
                   C    G (barre chords once)
The kids have run away

riff 1 once

chorus:

riff 1 x 4
I would like a place I can call my own
Have a conversation on my telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain with my wounded heart

riff 2 x 4
I was upset, you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

verse 2:

F
I wouldn't even trust you
     Bb
I've not that much to give
      F
We're dealing in the limits, and
Bb
We don't know who with
Dm                     Am
You may think that I'm out of hand
     Bb
That I'm naive, I'll understand
   C              Am
On this occasion, it's not true
Bb                      C   G (barre chord)
Look at me, I'm not you

riff 1 once

chorus same as before

bridge plays with the verse chords: F Bb F Bb Dm Am Bb C

then G

and riff 1

riff 1 x 7
I would like a place I can call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain with my wounded heart

Just wait 'till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart
