[Verse 1]
    C
The day it was explained to me
  C                     Am
I understood it finally
        Am
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]
Dm           Am
Oh you silly world
        C             F
Are you famous to the stars?
Dm            Am
Born a little girl
    G                         
You woke up as a single mother

[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
        C             F
Are you famous to the stars?
Dm            Am
Born a little girl
G
I remembered everything you said
    E7             Am                F
You woke up on the other side of the bed


[Outro]
   C   Em
Oh you world
Dm            F
Sleep all you can
G                                 C
You'll wake up as a single mother
