Tap At My Window

Laura Marling

Standard Tuning

Capo 1

[All chords relative to capo]

He taps at my window

Willing that I let him in

I don't think I will though

My heart's taken, I won't tell him again.

Maybe I'll write him a story

A* G* F#* E*

And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms.

A* G* F#* E* F#* G*

Maybe I'll wake up lonely

A* G* F#*

and fall unawake again.

A* G* F#* E* F#* G*

And until you calm me down

A* G* F#*

Race around this town

Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny.

I will not have him treat me this way.

And Mother, I blame you.

Therein trying to be you again

For I have become you,

And I know every part of the game

And Father, I love you

But how can you watch as I push her away?

I cannot forgive you for bringing me up this way.

[same as first chorus]

Maybe I'll write them a story

And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms.

Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fall unawake again.

And until you calm me down

I race around this town

until you calm me down

I race around this town

Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny

I will not have them treat me this way.

[same as first verse]

So tap at my window,

Maybe I might let you in.

I don't think I will though,

My heart's taken, I won't tell you again.
