D# C# G#
Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
D# C# G#
It's late September and I really should be back at school
C# G# C# D#
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
[Chorus]
A#m Cm A#m D#
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
A#m D# A#m D#
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
A#m D# G#
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts
[Verse]
D# C# G#
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
D# C# G#
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
C# G# C# D#
I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
[Chorus]
A#m Cm A#m D#
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
A#m D# A#m D#
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
A#m D# G#
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without
[Verse]
D# C# G#
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
D# C#
But you turned into a lover and mother
G#
what a lover you wore me out
C# G#
All you did was wreck my bed,
C# D#
and in the morning kick me in the head
[Chorus]
A#m Cm A#m D#
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried anymore
A#m D# A#m D#
You led me away from home, 'cause you didn't want to be alone
A#m D# G#
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried
[Solo 1]
A#m D# G# C#
A#m C# G# G#
[Verse]
D# C# G#
I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
D# C# G#
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool
C# G# C# D#
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand
[Chorus]
A#m Cm A#m D#
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face
A#m D#
You made a first class fool out of me,
A#m D#
but I'm as blind as a fool can be
A#m D# G#
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
