Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
     A                    G                D
It's late September and I really should be back at school

    G                D                
  I know I keep you amused
        G              A
  But I feel I'm being used

  Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried - any more

      Em                 A    
  You lured me away from home
          Em                   A
  Just to save you from being alone
      Em                 G           A      D
  You stole my heart and that's what really hurts

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything

  I laughed at all your jokes
  My love you didn't need to coax
  Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more

  You lured me away from home
  Just to save you from being alone
  You stole my heart and that's what really hurts
 
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover you wore me out

  All you did was wreck my bed
  And in the morning kick me in the head
  Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried - any more

  You lured me away from home
  'Cause you didn't want to be alone
  You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool

  Or find myself a rock and roll band
  That needs a helping hand
  Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face

  You made a first class fool out of me
  But I'm as blind as a fool can be
  You stole my heart but I love you anyway
