[Verse]
E                D                           A
Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
     E                    D                A
It's late September and I really should be back at school
  D                A           D              E
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used


[Chorus]
   Bm                      C#m     Bm     E
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    Bm               E            Bm                   E
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
     Bm                 E                  A
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts


[Verse]
    E                     D                   A
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
    E                   D                       A
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
  D                   A         D                       E
I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax


[Chorus]
   Bm                     C#m      Bm     E
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    Bm               E            Bm                   E
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
    Bm                     E                 A
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without


[Verse]
E                  D                A
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
        E                       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                      E
and in the morning kick me in the head


[Chorus]
   Bm                     C#m      Bm    E
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
    Bm               E                Bm                 E
You led me away from home, 'cause you didn't want to be alone
     Bm                       E              A
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

[Verse]
   E                 D                      A
I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
    E               D                        A
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool
   D                           A          D               E
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand


[Chorus]
   Bm                 C#m             Bm    E
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
           Bm                      E
You made a first class fool out of me,
           Bm                  E
but I'm as blind as a fool can be
     Bm                  E           A
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
