Chorus:
Em7           Bbdim7          Am7
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
D7sus4                 Em7
They stare at me while I stare at you
Em7         Bbdim7     Am7
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
    D7sus4                Em7
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Em7        Bbdim7      Am7
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
     D7sus4                  Em7
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Em7            Bbdim7         Am7
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
D7sus4                 Em7
They stare at me while I crave you
