Tom: G5
 
G5   
Stop thief; you're gonna come to grief 
       C5
If you don't take a little more care.
             G5        E5      C5      G5 
You're gonna get more than the family plan
                  C5        G5
From this one shoestring affair.
E5      A5                   C5       G5          F5
  I may be crazy but I can't contemplate being trapped between the doctor 
       C5      B5
And the magistrate. 

Chorus:
G5 
One of these days I'm gonna pay it back, pay it back,
C5
One  of these days.
G5
One of these days I'm gonna pay it back, pay it back,
C5
One  of these days.
G5
And then they told me I could be somebody
     C5
if I didn't let too much get in my way.
      G5        E5          C5    G5
And I tried so hard just to be myself,
              C5      G5
but I keep on fading away.
         E5          A5              C5            G5
Until the lights went out, I didn't know what to do.
           F5                      C5             B5
If I could fool myself, then maybe I'd fool you too.

**Chorus
G5               
I wouldn't say that I was raised on romance.
C5
Let's not get stuck in the past. 
           G5    E5       C5            G5
I love you more than everything in the world.
               C5         G5
I don't expect that will last.
E5                           C5      G5
They told me everything was guaranteed.
F5                          C5        B5
Somebody somewhere must've lied to me.
**Chorus (Repeat And Fade)
