Chords used: G, C, Dm, Em, Am, and G/D



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



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

G - C - G - C

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

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

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


G - C - G - C

G

 I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave

 Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted, but...
I want it all

I just can't figure out...
I'm Nothin'
