C#5         G#5                  F#5      G#5
     Many too many have stood where I stand
  C#5         G#5                F#5      G#5
     Many more,  will stand here too
   F#5                      C#5
     I think what I find strange is the way
          D#5              G5               F#5
     You built me up and knocked me down again
  C#5             G#5             F#5      G#5
     The part was fun but now it's over
  C#5         G#5                F#5      G#5
     Why can't I just leave the stage?
   F#5                C#5
     Maybe that's because you securely
      D#5               G5                D5
     Locked me up and threw away the key
           G5  D5                  G5
     Oh mama,  please would you find the key
    D5             G5  D5                  G5             D5    F#5
     Oh pretty mama,  please won't you let me go free
    B5                   F#5  B5                   F#5     B5
     I thought I was lucky,   I thought that I'd got it made
                 F#5     G#5
     How could I be so blind?
  C#5             G#5      F#5    G#5
     You said goodbye on a corner
  C#5         G#5                F#5    G#5
     That I thought led to the straight
   F#5                 C#5
     You set me on a firmly laid
         D#5                 G5                   D5
     And simple course and then removed the road
           G5  D5                G5
     Oh mama,  please help me find my way
    D5             G5  D5                  G5                 D5    F#5
     Oh pretty mama,  please lead me through the next day
    B5                   F#5  B5                   F#5     B5
     I thought I was lucky,   I thought that I'd got it made
                 F#5     G#5
     How could I be so blind?   Oh oh
