[Verse 1]
A F#m G D
Heavens above, his mother would say
A F#m G D
My Tommy’s in love, he’s moody all day
A F#m G D
He’s out of his mind, suspended in time

[Chorus]
G D C
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
G
Let me go, let me
D C G
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
D C
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
G
Let me go, let me
D C G
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

[Verse 2]
A F#m G D
Listen to me, his mother would say
A F#m G D
You’re young and in love, it won’t last that way
A F#m G D
You’re only a boy, you’ll grow up in time

[Chorus]
G D C
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
G
Let me go, let me
D C G
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
D C
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
G
Let me go, let me
D C G
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

[Verse 3]
A F#m G D
Tommy’s in love, he’s always that way
A F#m G D
Whatever he does, if only he’d say
A F#m G D
He’s feeling so fine, she’s looking so sweet

[Out-Chorus]
G D C
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
G
Let me go, let me
D C G
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
D C
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
G
Let me go, let me
D C G
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
G D C
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
G
Let me go, let me
D C G
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
D C
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
G
Let me go, let me
