Midtown Waitress chords by The Paper Kites

Verse 1:

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

               G#m
What you're talking about

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

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

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

              G#m
I'm not a child no more

B
So let me be my own

F#
Let me be my own


Verse 2:

  F#
So, I got a job as a waitress

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

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

     G#m
Like I told you we could be

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

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

 B
But I'm not coming home

      F#
Let me be my own


Refrain:

B
Oh, the things we do

         F#
To make it on our own


Verse 3:

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

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

   F#
God is money, love's a game

                               G#m
And everyone is angry at the president

   F#
Protests on the street, people shouting

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

 B
But not enough to go

   F#
I'm trying to be my own


Verse 4:

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

         G#m
Seeing how you've been

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

         G#m
I'm not doing so well

  F#
Lost my job, and Joey found religion

             G#m
And he also found another girl

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

B
And I'm missing home

 B
I'm trying to be my own

      F#
But I guess I just feel a little alone


Refrain:

 B
Oh, the things we do

    F#
To make it on our own
