[Verse]
Aadd9 A              Cmaj7      C
      I wanted to be with you alone
Aadd9 A                  Cmaj7   C
      And talk about the weather
        Aadd9        A                 Cmaj7         C
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Aadd9 A                         Cmaj7 C
      Won't escape my attention
Aadd9    A                    Cmaj7     C
You keep your distance with a system of touch
Aadd9 A                Cmaj7 C
      And gentle persuasion
    Aadd9      A                 Cmaj7         C
I'm lost in admiration - could I need you this much?
           Aadd9       A
Oh, you're wasting my time
            Cmaj7  C
You're just, just, just wasting time


(won't escape my attention...)

Aadd9 A                  Cmaj7       C
      I made a fire, I’m watching it burn (yeah)
Aadd9 A                   Cmaj7 C
      I thought of your future
     Aadd9           A                 Cmaj7        C

Have you no ambition?
   Aadd9      A                    Cmaj7           C
My mother and my brother’s used to breathing clean air / (nothing ever changes when you’re acting your age)
Aadd9 A                  Cmaj7  C
      And dreaming I’m a doctor    / (nothing gets done when you feel like a baby)
