Many more will stand here too

I think what I find strange is the way you built me up
G/D G F#6
Then knocked me down again
2. The part was fun but now it's over
Why can't I just leave the stage?
Maybe that's because you securely locked me up
G/D G D
Then threw away the key
Em7/D D Em7/D
R: Oh, mama, please would you find the key?
D Em7/D D Em7/D D F#m/C#
Oh, pretty mama, please won't you let me go free?

I thought I was lucky, I thought that I'd got it made

How could I be so blind?
3. You said goodbye on a corner
That I thought led to the straight
You set me on a firmly laid and simple course
G/D G D
And then removed the road
R: Oh, mama, please help me find my way
Oh, pretty mama, please lead me through the next day
I thought I was lucky, oh, I thought that I'd got it made
How could I be so blind?
