[Verse 1]
C
The day it was explained to me
C Am
I understood it finally

Ohhh oh oh
C
I got the letter in the mail
C Am
I saw the stamp, I knew I'd failed
Am
Ohhh oh oh
F F
In a way it was better than today, it was a special day
C C
It was the last time that I smiled
[Verse 2]
C
In a day, in a day, we were made in a day
C Am
I used to think this world was for me to save
Am
Ohhh oh oh
C
As I grew and I grew and everything we knew
C Am
Was beyond my hope It was the same old silly game
Am
Ohhh oh oh oh
F F Dm
I thought it was the lemonade but nothing really came to my aid
Dm C C
Nothing really came, it's all a silly game
[Bridge]

Oh you silly world

Are you famous to the stars?

Born a little girl
G
You woke up as a single mother
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
C
Just a name, just a name, everybody has a name
C Am
It's a useful thing but to me they're the same
Am
Ohhh oh oh oh
C
I'm alone, I'm alone and I'm waiting at the phone
C Am
As the seconds pass I grow heavy like a stone
Am
Ohhh oh oh oh
F F Dm
I wish it was the time of year but everything was crystal and clear
Dm C C
Everything was clear, nothing more to fear
[Bridge]
Dm Am
Oh you silly world

Are you famous to the stars?

Born a little girl

E7 Am F
You woke up on the other side of the bed

Sleep all you can

You'll wake up as a single mother
