Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
F D# A#
It's late September and I really should be back at school
D# A# D# F
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
[Chorus]
Cm Dm Cm F
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
Cm F Cm F
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
Cm F A#
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts
[Verse]
F D# A#
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
F D# A#
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
D# A# D# F
I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
[Chorus]
Cm Dm Cm F
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
Cm F Cm F
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
Cm F A#
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without
[Verse]
F D# A#
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
F D#
But you turned into a lover and mother
A#
what a lover you wore me out
D# A#
All you did was wreck my bed,
D# F
and in the morning kick me in the head
[Chorus]
Cm Dm Cm F
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
Cm F Cm F
You led me away from home, 'cause you didn't want to be alone
Cm F A#
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

[Verse]
F D# A#
I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
F D# A#
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool
D# A# D# F
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand
[Chorus]
Cm Dm Cm F
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
Cm F
You made a first class fool out of me,
Cm F
but I'm as blind as a fool can be
Cm F A#
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
