[Intro]
D Dsus2 Dsus4 Dsus2 D x2
[Verse 1]
A G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you. A G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D It's late September, and I really should be back at school. G D G A I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used. Em D Em A Oh Maggie, I couldn`t have tried anymore. Em A Em A You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone. Em A G D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts.
[Verse 2]
A G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age. A G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything. G D G A I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax. Em D Em A Oh Maggie, I couldn`t have tried anymore. Em A Em A You led me away from home, 'cuz you didn't wanna be alone. Em A G D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D You stole my heart, and that's a pain I can do without.
[Verse 3]
A G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D All I needed was was a friend to lend a guiding hand. A G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D But you turned into a lover, and Mother what a lover you wore me out. G D G A All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head. Em D Em A Oh Maggie, I couldn`t have tried anymore. Em A Em A You led me away from home, 'cuz you didn't want to be alone. Em A G D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D You stole my soul.... I love you anyway.

[Verse 4]
A G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school. A G D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Maybe, steal my mama's cue, make a living out of playing pool. G D G A Maybe, find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand. Em D Em A Oh Maggie I, I couldn`t have tried anymore. Em A Em A You made a first class fool out of me, I'm as blind as a fool can be. Em A G D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D You stole my soul, I couldn't leave you if I tried. Em A D G I couldn't leave ya.. I couldn't leave ya.. no, no, nooo... Em A D I couldn't leave ya..... Woahoooo... Maggie...
