Verse 1:
F#m
   And the fear upon my shoulder
F#m
   And my body getting older
F#m
   Will he want me when he’s sober
F#m
   Close my eyes and bend me over
F#m
What was I thinking
F#m
What was I thinking
F#m
What was I thinking

Chorus:
F#m                       D
Dear God, can you lift me up
                F#m   D
Can you take me higher
F#m                       D
Dear God, can you lift me up
                 F#m   D
Keep me from the fire
Bm                              C#
  And all the neighbors whisper isn’t it a shame
Bm                             C#
  That little girl we knew has surely gone insane
 
 
Verse 2:
F#m
   Now my teeth are getting longer
F#m
   And my will is getting stronger
F#m
   When she’s wilting will you want her
F#m
   Do your worst and roll me over
F#m
What was I thinking
F#m
What was I thinking
F#m
What was I thinking

Can you take me higher

  That little girl we knew has clearly gone insane

   Wake me up let this be over

Bm                              C
  And all the neighbors run and hide their kids away

  That little girl they knew has surely gone insane
