C
My room faces north but the sun's in the south
    Eb
I'm just waking up to the news of my birth
Gm                  Bb
I am a girl and I'm lucky to be here
Ab                     Fm
Whatever that's worth

        C
Like an ostrich I lived with my head in the sand
Eb
Slipped into corners, sat on my hands
Gm                      Bb
I learned to stifle the shouts and the outrage
    Ab                  Fm
And feeling deep down

        Cm
With my chains falling off
        Cm/B
And the hope in a friend
Cm/Bb
Cafes and walkways
Cm/A
sculptured weekends
    Ab                 Eb
I'm getting to love my freedom
    Ab                 Eb
I'm getting to like my surroundings

   C
My room faces north but the sun's in the south
        Eb
You are far out of reach Could I be any worth
   Gm                      Bb
To some special person? My mind is unknowing
   Ab                  Fm
Of any such love

     C
So I yell out the window, answer the mail
   Eb
My diary's quiet, the definitive nail
      Gm                Bb
In my social coffin.  I blame all the boffins
    Ab                  Fm
For making me fail

       Cm
For an hour in the park
      Cm/B
Or an hour on the couch
         Cm/Bb
With the boy of my choice
      Cm/A
If he makes me go ouch
       Ab                      Eb
I will swap all my dumb school prizes
     Ab              Eb
I am open to dark surprises

( Cm  Gm  Ab  Eb  Fm  Cm  Db  Cm  G  Cm )

   C
My room faces north but the sun's in the south
        Eb
You are far out of reach, perfect hand, perfect mouth
    Gm                        Bb
The boredom, the freedom, the train on the meadow
       Ab                  Fm
Please keep me in dreams

  Eb
I don't want commitment
  Bb
I don't want the drama
  Ab                       Fm
I just want your jeans
                 C
I just want your jeans
  Cm        Gm      Ab                        Eb
