[Verse 1]
G            G/F#       A                    C
people keep asking me why i do things how i do
G            G/F#             A               C
and all of this measuring influence i forgot you
G            G/F#    A                    C
you and me hiding behind the monhegan hotel
G            G/F#             A                    C
and you told me things that nobody around me would tell
G            G/F#          A                    C
that was the summer that everyone touched me at once
G            G/F#            A                           C
one day they ignored me the next they were all down my pants
G            G/F#        A                  C
you were in bed with me safe before anyone else
     G       G/F#          A                    C    
you opened beside me and held me when i needed help

[Chorus]
Em          D       C                          Em D C
you and me lying together at night in my room
Em          D         C           G      A C C 
you've been inside me forever, judy blume

[Verse 2]
G           G/F#                A                C  
i couldn't carry a tune but i thought i could sing
G           G/F#                A                          C 
and no-one had told me that thoughts were a good or bad thing
G           G/F#           A                      C 
but i  started noticing grown-ups would smile and cringe
G                   G/F#            A                        C 
but you'd taught me that you could say anything you could think

[Bridge]
Em         D          C
i don't remember my friends from gymnastics class
Em         D          C
but i remember when deenie was at the school 
Em            D          C
dance buddy feeling her up in the locker room
Em         D             C
margaret bored counting hats in the synagogue
Em         D            C
davey was stirring the tea that she wouldn't drink
Em         D          C
tony was watching his so-called friend shoplifting
Em         D          C
all them lived in my head quietly whispering :
Em       D          C
you are not so strange
Em         D          C
i don't remember the details of 7th grade
Em         D          C
all i remember is lying and being afraid
   Em         D                   C
but i won't forget katherine and michael going all the way
Em         D          C
karen pretending to puke so her dad would stay
Em             D          C
steph on the scale in the bathroom alone that day
Em         D           C
margaret arguing with god while she masturbated
Em            D            C
all of them stacked on my shelf like a love letter
Em           D        C
all of them saying: amanda you know better! 
Em       D       C
you are not to blame
     Em         D       C
the world's a vicious place
   Em         D             C
so go on and think how you want
         Em       D            C        
you will not be alone in your thoughts
          Em          D          C           D               C        D                     G     A C C
well you will but you wont in a way cause a girl thought it too in a book that the library bought

[Ending]
G            G/F#       A                    C
people keep asking me why i do things how i do
          G            G/F#          A                       C
