Mom, I'm tired
       Am                     F
Can I sleep in your  house tonight?
C             G
Mom, is it alright
      Am                 G
If I stay for a year or two?

C              G
Mom, I’ll be quiet
         Am                   F                    
It would be just to sleep at night
     Am             G      
And I’ll leave once I figure out
        F           G       C
How to pay for my own life too

C              G
Mom, would you wash my back?
     Am                    F
This once, and then we can forget
          C              G
And I’ll leave what I’m chasing
         Am/F         G    C
For the other girls to pursue

C       G
Mom, am I still young?
       F           G          C
Can I dream for a few months more?
