Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'l[Gsus4]l[G][Gsus4][G][Gsus4][G]
never be your Maggie [Gsus4]May
[G]The one you loved and
left be[Em]hind[C]
The face you see in light of [D]day
Then you cast [C]away
That isn't me in that bed
you'll [G]find[Gsus4]

[Verse 2]
[G]I'd rather take myself awa[Gsus4]y
[G]Be like those ladies in [C]Japan
Rather paint myself [D]a face
Conjure up some [C]grace
Or be the eyes behind a fan
[G][Gsus4]

[Verse 3]
[G]
And [D]so you [C]go
[D]No girl could say [C]no
To you
[G][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 4]
Oh, there's the way I may appear
But that will change from day to [Em]night[C]
Would you ever see within?
[D]Underneath the skin?
[C]Could I believe you had[G] that
[Em]sigh[C]t?[D]
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
And [D]so you [C]go
[D]No girl could say [C]no
To you
[G]

[Verse 6]
I'll never be your Maggie May
The one you loved and
then for[Em]got[C]
I'll love you first and let you [D]go
Because it must be [C]so
And you'll forgive or you will [G]not

[Verse 7]
And so a woman leaves [G]a man[Gsus4]
[G]And so a world turns on it'[C]s end
So I'll see your face in [D]dreams
Where nothing's what it seem[C]s
Still you appear some kind of [G]friend[C][G]

[Verse 8]
And [D]so you [C]go
[D]No girl could say [C]no

[Outro 1]
To you
[G][Gsus4][G]
