Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

 F#F#
Oh Momma, I don't want to sit and listen to

        G# minorG#m
What you're talking about

F#F#
We're both young and we're going move to the city

              G# minorG#m
Yeah, we found a little place up there

F#F#
We don't need a lecture 'bout things that could go wrong

       G# minorG#m
I'm not a child no more

BB
So let me be my own

F#F#
Let me be my own

Verse 2:

 F#F#
So, I got a job as a waitress

           G# minorG#m
It's not much, but we're getting by

 F#F#
Three months in, we're happy and we're living

   G# minorG#m
Like I told you we could be

 F#F#
Every time I call you, yeah, you're crying

      G# minorG#m
And I don't want to do you wrong

 BB
But I'm not coming home

   F#F#
Let me be my own

Refrain:

BB
Oh, the things we do

     F#F#
To make it on our own


Verse 3:

  F#F#
People say this town is fast, and if you don't hold on

       G# minorG#m
It blows you back to where you came from

  F#F#
God is money, love's a game

                G# minorG#m
And everyone is angry at the president

  F#F#
Protests on the street, people shouting

          G# minorG#m
And I'll say that I'm angry, too

 BB
But not enough to go

  F#F#
I'm trying to be my own


Verse 4:

  F#F#
Hey Ma, it's been a while, yeah, I'm just checking in

     G# minorG#m
Seeing how you've been

 F#F#
Nothing's wrong I'm doing fine, no, that's a lie

     G# minorG#m
I'm not doing so well

 F#F#
Lost my job, and Joey found religion

       G# minorG#m
And he also found another girl

 BB
That's not how it's supposed to go

BB
And I'm missing home

 BB
I'm trying to be my own

   F#F#
But I guess I just feel a little alone


Refrain:

 BB
Oh, the things we do

  F#F#
To make it on our own
