When he first asked and I said no

He asked me twice
  Eb/GEb/G   FsusFsus  FF
He asked me twice
  Eb MajorEb      Ebmaj9Ebmaj9
And so I finally told him yes
 Eb/GEb/G        F7/Bb
I thought if I could make my dress
 B9B9       F/AF/A
I might look nice
 Eb/GEb/G    FsusFsus  FF
I might look nice

CARRIE

 Eb MajorEb        Bb/DBb/D      Ab/C
I know I'm not like all the others

Sometimes I dream in colors
      Eb/GEb/G      F7susF7sus
Sometimes I even think I'm lovely

Nobody feels the things that I do
Eb/BbEb/Bb      F7/Bb
Mama, please I'm just not like you

They could sweep me away

CARRIE (Spoken)

Mama?

MARGARET

            Eb/GEb/G     AbAb  Absus AbAb BbmBbm
Oh how those boys were demons of romance

In their cars we'd chase the lights

I know just how boys will behave

Not this boy mama!

He isn't like the others

He's nice, you'll see, really you will

Everyone isn't bad
Mama, everything's not a sin!


Verse 4:
MARGARET

F# minorF#m        E/G#      A augmentedA  AsusAsus A augmentedA B minorBm
Oh how your father whispered in my ear
          F#m/C#F#m/C#      C#7sus
First the kiss and then the touch
    C#7C#7      F# minorF#m
Mixing lies with the truth
         E/G#      A augmentedA   AsusAsus A augmentedA B minorBm
He would sigh and try to draw me near
         F#m/C#F#m/C#
Oh he'd swear he cared so much
C#7sus     C#7C#7
That's what the boys do


Chorus:
F# minorF#m
They'll make promises

They will break your heart
E/G#
Then they'll laugh at you

Watching you fall apart
A augmentedA           AsusAsus
Don't you think that I know?
      A augmentedA       B minorBm        F#m/C#F#m/C#
Don't you think this has happened before?
                          C#7sus
It's the smell of the blood that will drive them mad
          C#7C#7
Chasing you like a whore!

CARRIE (Spoken)

No!

MARGARET (Spoken)

Yes!

MARGARET (Sung)

F# minorF#m
Don't you know their game?
            E/G#
Have you lost your mind
                         A augmentedA
Can't you see Satan's passion has made you blind
            AsusAsus
And this boy's like the rest
      A augmentedA      B minorBm         F#m/C#F#m/C#
And they're all like the serpents who crawl
              C#7sus C#7C#7 G minorGm
You can beg all you want to but I recall
        F/AF/A       Bb(add2)
How your father came to me that night

CARRIE

       Bb(sus2)   Bb(add2)    C minorCm
That doesn't mean that the same thing will happen to me!

MARGARET
         Gm/D
With the smell of smoke and gin

CARRIE

               D7susD7sus
Give me the chance and you'll see

MARGARET

     D7D7     G minorGm
With the lust in his eyes
          F/AF/A
And he took me and touched me
      Bb(add2)
I tried to fight

CARRIE

     Bb(sus2)
Mama, please, listen
   Bb(add2)   C minorCm
You don't hear a word that I've said

MARGARET
        Gm/D
Satan gave your father sin

CARRIE
             D7susD7sus
Sometimes I wish you were dead!

MARGARET

 D7D7 G minorGm Gm/F
And the sin never dies
