It's late September and I really should be back at school

I know I keep you amused But I feel I'm being used
Em Gbm Em A A
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more
Em A Em A
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
Em A D
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts
A G D
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age

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
