Carrie

Bb                  Bbmaj9
I never dreamed that I could go
Eb/Bb                 F7/Bb
When he first asked and I said no
   B9              F/A
He asked me twice
   Eb/G     Fsus    F
He asked me twice
    Eb           Ebmaj9
And so I finally told him yes
  Eb/G               F7/Bb
I thought if I could make my dress
  B9             F/A
I might look nice
  Eb/G       Fsus    F
I might look nice

CARRIE

  Eb                Bb/D           Ab/C
I know I'm not like all the others
            Gm/Bb            Ab
Sometimes I dream in colors
            Eb/G            F7sus
Sometimes I even think I'm lovely
Bb               Bbmaj9
Nobody feels the things that I do
Eb/Bb            F7/Bb
Mama, please I'm just not like you
Bb   F/A   Gm7     F6      Eb(add2)
Maybe I'll find someone to love me

CARRIE (Spoken)

Fm                          Fm/Eb
Tommy's a very nice boy and he'll have me home by midnight
Fm/Db
It's Saturday

I've accepted
Mama

I've accepted

MARGARET

           Eb/G                 Ab     Absus Ab Bbm
I remember how those boys could dance
                  Fm/C           C7sus
Pressing close on Friday nights
           C7       Fm
They could sweep me away

CARRIE (Spoken)

N.C.
Mama?

MARGARET

                       Eb/G          Ab    Absus Ab Bbm
Oh how those boys were demons of romance
                   Fm/C
In their cars we'd chase the lights
C7sus C7   Fm
I know just how boys will behave

CARRIE (Spoken)


Not this boy mama!
Fm/Eb
He isn't like the others
        Fm/Db
He's nice, you'll see, really you will
           Fm/C
Everyone isn't bad
Mama, everything's not a sin!


Verse 4:
MARGARET

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


Chorus:
F#m
They'll make promises

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

Watching you fall apart
A                      Asus
Don't you think that I know?
           A             Bm               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#7
Chasing you like a whore!

CARRIE (Spoken)

No!

MARGARET (Spoken)

Yes!

MARGARET (Sung)

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

CARRIE

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

MARGARET
                  Gm/D
With the smell of smoke and gin

CARRIE

                              D7sus
Give me the chance and you'll see

MARGARET

         D7          Gm
With the lust in his eyes
                   F/A
And he took me and touched me
           Bb(add2)
I tried to fight

CARRIE

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

MARGARET
                Gm/D
Satan gave your father sin

CARRIE
                          D7sus
Sometimes I wish you were dead!

MARGARET

 D7 Gm  Gm/F
And the sin never dies

I have nothing left to lose

Nothing you can say or do

Will ever stop me again
