Tom : C
F C
Patti can't take it, she gotta give it back
Dm A A7
The world is a big place and she's frightened
F C
And if you kiss her, she gotta kiss you back
Am G
She couldn't stand a kiss for free - on her own
Bm Dm
And while she's playing with all she exchanged
A F
Yawning at the multitude
Bm
Her world is a big place
Dm A
Full of toys and boys and teddy bears
F
Where nothing is for free
F2/C G A
That's what her mother told her once
A
And Patti has a big, big heart
E
Bigger than her life
F#m E
She just forgot the most fantastic things within
D#m
She's sitting in her glass house
F#m
And she does not dare to throw the stone
C#
To make it all come true
A B C#
Of what she's dreamin' of and so it seems to me
C# G#
Patti can't take it, she gotta give it back
A#m F F7
Her world is a big place and she's frightened
C# G#
But if you love her maybe she'll accept
Fm D#
Maybe she'll take your love for free
On her own
Em
All alone
