Verse 1: 

Am7            C/B              C
    There's a girl who wants to run away
                      Am7 C/B  C
She wants to steal my    heart
Am7            C/B              C
    There's a girl who wants to run away
                 Am7 C/B  C
She wont get too far

Am7            C/B           C
   We've been dreaming of tomorrow
                   Am7 C/B  C
But it never comes around
Am7            C/B           C
   We've been dreaming of tomorrow
                    Am7 C/B  C
But we never make a sound


Pre-Chorus:
            F
She sits beside me on the train
       G
But I look the other way
F                           G 
    I've got a secret in my heart


Chorus:

C            C/B              Am7            G
Music is my mistress and she keeps the girls away
     F                              G
They always seem to come along but never seem to say
C            C/B              Am7            G
Music is my mistress and she whispers in my ear
F                            G        
I don't need nobody else to tell me what to 
Am7  C/B  C

Verse 2:

Am7          C/B            C
   Someone's sleeping underneath my bed
                Am7 C/B C
I don't know her name
Am7          C/B            C
Someone's sleeping underneath my bed
                  Am7 C/B C
I wonder who's to blame


Am7          C/B            C
I try so hard to make her understand
               Am7 C/B C
This cannot go    on
Am7          C/B            C
I try so hard to make her understand
                        Am7 C/B C
But she tells me I'm wrong


              F
She stands beside me in the rain
       G
But I turn the other way
F                           G 
    I've got a secret in my heart


Chorus:

C            C/B              Am7            G
Music is my mistress and she keeps the girls away
     F                              G
They always seem to come along but never seem to say
C            C/B              Am7            G
Music is my mistress and she whispers in my ear
F                            G        
I don't need nobody else to tell me what to 
Am7  C/B  C
