Tune to Drop D
Capo on 3


E5                  D5
I am nothing without pretend
      A5
I know my faults
      C5
Can't live with them

E5                  D5
I am nothing without a man
      A5
I know my thoughts
      C5
But I can't hide them

E5                  D5
I still keep my baby teeth
      A5                  C5
In the bedside table with my jewelry

E5                  D5
You still sleep in the bed with me,
  A5                  C5
My jewelry, and my baby teeth


I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can't kiss my own neck

I wanted to give you everything
but I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did
