(intro) ( A5 D5 E5 A5 )

  A5                   D5
  I scream at you for sharing
  A5                       D5
  'n I curse you just for caring
  A5                         B5                  E5
  I hate the clothes you're wearing, they're so pretty
  A5                   D5
  'n I tell to not to see me
  A5                    D5
  'n I tell you not to feel me
  A5                     B5                E5
  'n I make your life a drag, it's such a pity

  'n I watch your warm glow palin'
  'n I watch your sparkle fadin'
  As you realise you're failin', cos you're so good
  Now I don't mean to upset you
  But there's so much crime to get through
  If only I could make it easier, then I would

  A5                    D5
  Oh I wish I was your mother
  A5                    D5
  I wish I'd been your father
  A5                    B5
  'n then I would have seen you
             D5             E5
  Would have been you as a child
  A5                       D5
  Played houses with your sisters
  A5                          D5
  And wrestled with all your brothers
  A5
  And then who knows
  B5                  D5            E5
  I might have felt a family for a while

  It's no use me pretendin'
  You give and I do the spendin'
  Is there a happy ending, I don't think so
  Cos even if we make it
  I'll be too far out to take it
  You'll have to try and shake it from my head

  Oooooh I wish I was your mother
  I wish I'd been your father
  'n then I would have seen you
  Would have been you as a child
  Played houses with your sister
  And wrestled with all your brothers
  And then who knows
  I might have felt a family for a while
