Stares at boys who wear glasses

In look magazines

Flowers in hand and ambitious plans

and so full of love
C C F
Things get a bit louder
C C F
Tommy's focused on plans
C C G F
His smile's replaced with an aggressive face
C C F
But she'll still hold his hand.
C C F
Now she's given up dancing
C C F
Tommy says she's too old
C C G F
He says focus on me but she disagrees
C C F
While she does as she's told
C F Am G
She's walking on eggshells
C F Am G
And when push comes to shove
C F Am G
she's full of belonging
C C F
but not full of love
Am
Back to the studio
G
Where she was told not to go
Em
Feeling sick with guilt, the tension builds
F
As she opens the door
Am
And what else would be there
G
But a trusting pair
Em F
Of strong bodies, lacking in worries, performing a pas de deux
F
I am not right
Yes this is what's right
Em
Souls, and hearts and minds intertwined
C F
I won't be defined by him anymore.
C F Am G
She's walking on eggshells
C F Am G
And when push comes to shove
C F Am G
she's full of belonging
C C F
but not full of love
C C F
So goodbye to tommy

C C F
And he'll hold her hand.
C C F
