Verse 1:
           EbmWhen (xx4342@1)I was younger I wish
                        Bthat (x2444x@1)I would have known better
Better love makes a fat romance
lasts for more than a shoe
          F#shine (244322@1)I'm bolder took all
                Ebmthe (xx4342@1)words of my mother
                   BSaying (x2444x@1)it could be worse
Could be born with that disease
Instead of catching it first


Refrain 1:
         F#So (244322@1)let's go back to the first time
       BbmThat (x13321@1)I met you in your Chevy
          BWith (x2444x@1)your hands stretched and me 
                  C#crying (x43121@1)screaming "mercy mercy"
      F#But (244322@1)I know that I was put here
         EbmTo (xx4342@1)fight vikings in the cold war
        Bwith (x2444x@1)my arms out in the front 
         C#singing (x43121@1)"tear me tear me"


Chorus 1:
             BThese (x2444x@1)things take time love
             F#These (244322@1)things take backbone
            EbmAnd (xx4342@1)they'll tell you 
what you want to hear
They say it gets 
C#better (x43121@1)better
               BBut (x2444x@1)you better know how 
                 F#to (244322@1)point out the liars
       EbmYou've (xx4342@1)got to win 
your wars make sure
You're not fighting 
    C#for (x43121@1)nothing nothing
Are you fighting for 
B (x2444x@1)            B(hold)
nothing nothing


Verse 2:
                   EbmIt (xx4342@1)feels like this world has 
                      Bbeen (x2444x@1)growing slowly upside down
Maybe I should move to China
straighten this mess out
                EbmMaybe (xx4342@1)I'll be a poet watch 
                   Ball (x2444x@1)the sky for falling words
Write about my grandma's curtains
Or the lady who put the 
chinese buffet in her purse


Refrain 2:
         EbmI've (xx4342@1)got my mouth it's a weapon
     BbmIt's (x13321@1)bombshell it's a cannon
         BI've (x2444x@1)got my words I won't
          C#give (x43121@1)them mercy mercy


(Repeat Chorus 1)
