Cm       F        Dm                  Eb
Mother, Father, I think that I would rather
 Cm                F              Dm Eb
Stay at home with you for another year
       Cm           F           Dm               Eb
That building's so tall and it makes me feel so small
        Cm                  F    Dm     Eb
That I might get lost and simply disappear.

      Cm                     F
Evil smiles won't change my mind,
               Gm
I'm worried an I'm not the worrying kind.
           Cm                F
Why's that man rubbung his hands
           Gm                    F
Looking at me writing down his plans?

 Cm           F      Dm       Eb
Today I have been moulding plasticine
       Cm                     F             Dm Eb
And I made a little man who looked just like me
     Cm            F            Dm                        Eb
His limbs were so weak and he couldn't move his mouth to speak
             Cm                 F                 Dm Eb
And I could bend him into any shape I wanted him to be.

      Cm                     F
Evil smiles won't change my mind,
               Gm
I'm worried an I'm not the worrying kind.
           Cm                F
Why's that man rubbung his hands
           Gm                    F
Looking at me writing down his plans?

Cm                    F
Those kids with the blazers on,
Gm
They went in with names on their elbows.
Cm               F
Came home with medals on.
Gm                                    F
Spit it out that's the way the story goes

Cm         F
A flying start from the briefcase crew.

Cm        F     Gm
Oh, you didn't have to teach me like you did
Cm      F  Gm
But you did.
Cm      F  Gm
But you did...
Cm      F  Gm
You did.
Cm      F  Gm
You did...
