 Vanessa  Simmons,  funny kinda name,
 Young, and yet  wise,  only a child,
Wakes up in the morning, frown across her face,
G7
I know your name, but not your place-----!
 Wish I could show  you...  how to live  your life,
 But I'm not sure which one  of us is right,
 God only knows the tears I've cried!
  | / / / / | / / / / |
 Vanessa Simmons,  funny kinda name,
 Have you got life wrong,  is it just a game?
Wake up in the morning, find a friend at night,
G7
Friends are hard to find, especially at night-----!
 Wish I could show  you...  how to live  your life,
 But I'm not sure which one  of us is right,  God only knows,
 And he's the one that shows the tears I've cried!
  | / / / / | / / / / |
 And if  I asked  you for the sun,  would you  not say,
+11
  "Light's not the only way to be!"
 And if  I asked  you for your love,  would you  not say,
+11
  "Love is not what you want from me!"
 And would  I not be right,
 To sit  alone and wonder every night?
  | / / / / | / / / / |
Vanessa Simmons, funny kinda name,
G7
Young, and yet wise, only a child--------!
 Wish I could show  you...  how to live  your life,
 But I'm not sure which one  of us is right,  God only knows,
 And he's the one that shows the tears I've cried!
