Intro:  G - C - G - C listen to song for rhythm



G5
 I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
C5
 Oh, Momma running out of luck
Like my sister, don't give a fuck
G5
 I wanna steal your innocence
To me, my life, it don't make sense
C5
 Those strange manners, I loved 'em so
"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"

G5 - C5 - G5 - C5

G5
 I should've worked much harder
I should've just not bothered
C5
 I never show up on weekdays
Something that you learned yesterday
G5
 "Drive you to work; you'll be on time
These little problems they're not yours and mine,"
C5
 "Come on and listen to what I say
I've got some secrets that'll make you stay"
D5
 I just want to turn you down
I just want to turn you around
E5
 Oh, you ain't never had nothin' I wanted, but...
I want it all     
                  A5
I just can't figure out...
I'm Nothing

G - G - G - G listen to song for pattern

    G5
And all together it went well
   E5 
We made pretend we were best friends
G5
Then she said, "Oh, you're a freak"
       E5
"They ordered me to make mistakes"
  G5
Together again, like the beginning
   E5
It all works somehow in the end
    G5
The things we did, the things you hide
E5
 Oh for the record it's between you and I


G5 - C5 - G5 - C5

G5
 Oh, I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
C5
 Oh, Momma running out of luck
Like my sister, don't give a fuck
G5
 I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life, it just don't make any sense
C5 
 Those strange manners, I loved 'em so
"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"

D5
 I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
E5
 Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted, but...
I want it all
                  A5
I just can't figure out...
I'm Nothin'

G - G - G - G same as berfore


    G5
And all together it went well
   E5
We made pretend we were best friends
G5
Then she said, "Oh, I can wait"
      E5
They ordered me to make mistakes
  G5
Together again like the beginning
   E5
It all works somehow in the end
    G5
The things we did, the things you hide
E5
And for the record, it's between you and I
