[Verse 1]
D                Cadd9                    G
Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
      D                   Cadd9             G
It's late September and I really should be back at school
  Cadd9            G           Cadd9           D
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used
    Am                     Bm       Am    Am7
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
[Chorus]
     Am                 D            Am                  D
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
     Am                 D                  G
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt
[Verse 2]
D                        Cadd9                  G
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
      D                 Cadd9                   G
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything
   Cadd9                   G      Cadd9                    D
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax
     Am                     Bm       Am     Am7
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
[Chorus]
     Am                 D            Am                  D
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
     Am                         D        Cadd9   G
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
[Verse 3]
D                  Cadd9             G
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
         D                      Cadd9                     G
But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover, you wore me out
Cadd9                     G             Cadd9                   D
All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kick me in the head
    Am                     Bm       Am     Am7
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
[Chorus]
     Am                 D               Am                 D
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
     Am                         D      Cadd9   G
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried
[Instrumental]
Am  D  G  Cadd9  G/B      Am  C  D  G
[Verse 4]
D                 Cadd9                        G
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
     D              Cadd9                         G
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
   Cadd9                        G        Cadd9            D
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
    Am                     Bm         Am     Am7
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
[Chorus]
     Am                             D              Am                 D
You made a first-class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be
     Am                    D     Cadd9  G
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
