it might be nice to look at
D

Cm G# Eb F
tomorrow and tomorrow, and tomorrow
you're big enough to stop pretending
you'll start to really show within a week or so
so don't go saying it's just come to your attention
you'll get more than you're asking for without the right protection
today's a very special day
and how you'd love to have a little thing with which to play
but love wont get you very far
today be still your beating heart
you'll have to keep on feeding it
tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

will be boys will be girls with no warning
G# Cm Am
girls will be girls will be guys will be boys that don't cry
F G
over toys that they use to beat girls they despise by the morning
G#
they always said that sex would change you...
no second thoughts the knife is nearing
you'll never hear the little pitter patter pitter patter
of this little feat of engineering
of course i love you and of course it's what's inside that matters
but i think the whole charade is ending
it seems to me to be the only way to keep from getting
caught up in a long life of regretting
the doctors said that once you get a taste for it you'll keep on cutting
but while you happen to be here
why don't you whisper all those sweet forevers in my ear
stiff upper lip for all this sorrow
hurry up and stick it in
you never when it will end
tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow...
they always said that sex would change you...
