[Verse]
F                D#                           A#
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
