E5                        E5    E5                  E5 
Maybe someday I'll be strong, maybe it won't be long 
A5                      A5     E5                                E5 
I'll be the one who's tough, you'll be the one who's got it rough 
F#5                   A5                     E5   E5 
It won't be long and maybe I'll be real strong 
 
Maybe I'll do things right, maybe I'll start tonight 

You'll learn to cry like me, baby let's just wait and see 

Maybe I'll start tonight and do things right 
 

A5                     A5           A5                    E5  E5 
You'll control me and oh so boldly rule me 'till I'm free 
          A5                   A5               A5                 B5 
'Till the pain that shakes me finally makes me get up off of my knees 
B5 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
 
Maybe I'll be fast as you, maybe I'll break hearts too 

But I think that you'll slow down when your turn to hurt comes around 

Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you...awwwww...

{guitar solo} 
 
You'll control me and oh so boldly rule me 'till I'm free 

'Til the pain that shakes me finally makes me get up off of my knees 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
 
Maybe I'll be fast as you, maybe I'll break hearts too 

But I think you'll slow down when your turn to hurt comes around 

Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you 

Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you...ahhh, s'okay (?)

TAB: 
 
Here's the main riff for        The A measures in the middle 
the E measures:                 of the verse (NOT the end) are 
                                pretty much the same: 
 
E ---------------- |              E ---------------- |  
B ---------------- |              B ---------------- |  
G ---------------- |              G --------0------- |  
D --------0------- |              D ----------2-4-2- |  
A ----------2-4-2- |              A 0-0-3-4--------- |  
E 0-0-3-4--------- |              E ---------------- |  
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .                 ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . 
 
I think the B in the bridge is like this: 
 
E ---------------- | ---------------- |  
B ---------------- | ---------------- |  
G --------2------- | ---------------- |  
D ----1-4---4-6-4- | ---------------- |  
A 2-2------------- | 2-2-0-0--------- |  
E ---------------- | --------4-4-2-2- |  
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . 
 
I'm not at all sure about the A measures 
in the bridge, but I think they might be 
something like this: 
 
E ---------------- |  
B ---------------- |  
G ---------------- |  
D 2-2-4-2-5-2-4-2- |  
A 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- |  
E ---------------- |
