Verse 1:
 C       G
Mom, I'm tired 
       Am                    F
Can I sleep in your house tonight? 
  C        G
Mom, is it alright 
      Am                 G
If I stay for a year or two? 
 
Verse 2:
 C             G
Mom, I’ll be quiet 
         Am                   F
It would be just to sleep at night 
         Am            G
And I’ll leave once I figure out 
        F         G        C
How to pay for my own life too 
 
Chorus:
 C              G
Mom, would you wash my back? 
      Am                   F
This once, and then we can forget 
           C              G
And I’ll leave what I’m chasing 
          F              C
For the other girls to pursue 
 
Interlude: G Am G F
 
Outro:
 C         G
Mom, am I still young? 
        F          G          C
Can I dream for a few months more?
