_ _ [Eb] _ [Cm] Mother, [F] mother, [Dm] don't you think that I would [Eb] rather [Cm] stay at home [F] with you for another [Dm] year?
[Eb] _ [Cm] The building's [F] so tall, [Dm] and it makes me feel [Eb] so small, [Cm] that I might get [F] lost and simply [Dm] disappear.
[Eb] _ People's smiles don't [F] change my mind, I'm [Gm] worried and I'm not the one kind.

[Gm] A fine start, but the big day's through.
