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

dance buddy feeling her up in the locker room
Em     D       C
margaret bored counting hats in the synagogue

davey was stirring the tea that she wouldn't drink
Em     D     C
tony was watching his so-called friend shoplifting
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
