Chorus:
Abm7           Ddim7          Dbm7
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
Gb7sus4                 Abm7
They stare at me while I stare at you
Abm7         Ddim7     Dbm7
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
    Gb7sus4                Abm7
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Abm7        Ddim7      Dbm7
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
     Gb7sus4                  Abm7
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Abm7            Ddim7         Dbm7
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
Gb7sus4                 Abm7
They stare at me while I crave you
