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