Am
Oh everybody said she was the next big thing
      F                          G
The shining little light on the Saturday night
Dreaming of the day when she could run away
She didn't believe the hype was right

I knew right from the past
It was never gonna last, the feeling's over fast
Now here we go
Now here we go

     F
Can somebody please take me home
      G
Where I can be all alone?
     F
Can somebody please take me home
      E
Where I can be all alone?

Chorus:
         Am
And the tears fall down from your face
                         C
And we know beneath the surface there's a trace
                                F
A heavy heart that's working through the pain
                    E
Please stay in the game
                    Am
Please stay in the game

Oh everybody said she was the next big thing
The shining little light on the Saturday night
Finally came the day when she did run away
She didn't believe the hype was right
I knew right from the past
Was never gonna last, this feeling's over fast
Now watch her go
Now watch her go

Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone?
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone?

Chorus

And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface there's a trace
A heavy heart that's working through the pain
Please stay in the game
Please stay in the game
