The F# is more of an F#5, and the A that follows it is kind of A5-ish. The B in the bridge could be a B7, but that's not important.] E E E E E E E E [intro] E E E E Maybe someday I'll be strong, maybe it won't be long A A E E I'll be the one who's tough, you'll be the one who's got it rough F# A E E It won't be long and maybe I'll be real strong Maybe I'll do things right, maybe I'll start tonight You'll learn to cry like me, baby let's just wait and see Maybe I'll start tonight and do things right A A A E E You'll control me and oh so boldly rule me 'till I'm free A A A B 'Till the pain that shakes me finally makes me get up off of my knees B Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Maybe I'll be fast as you, maybe I'll break hearts too But I think that you'll slow down when your turn to hurt comes around Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you...awwwww... E E E E A A E E F# A E E [guitar solo] You'll control me and oh so boldly rule me 'till I'm free 'Til the pain that shakes me finally makes me get up off of my knees Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Maybe I'll be fast as you, maybe I'll break hearts too But I think you'll slow down when your turn to hurt comes around Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you...ahhh, s'okay (?)
