These chords don't quite work if you're playing the song at the same time, but 
alone they sound great, so I hope they're helpful to you. :)

   C
My mother planted trees on top of a hill.
   Em
My dad cut them down at the local mill
    F
and somehow they found a simple love
        G
they'd express when push comes to shove and I

C
read about it in my books
  Em
I see it in a lover's looks and I
F
try to be the wisest judge.
     G
I've felt a little; it's never enough, so

    C                             Em
Oh, why, oh, why, oh, why haven't I been shot?
         F                         G
I've had such a grudge on the angel assigned to me and
C                     Em
if I, if I, if I only risked my heart,
F
begged the falling stars,
      G                       C
but I haven't since I was thirteen.

C                                 Em
Mostly I'm content to wait 'cause every girl grows at a different pace,
    F
but in the crowd, I feel like a child -
  G
a kid abandoned in the wild.
    C
And on the fridge is a faded print of
Em                                    F
my parents when they first met and my mom, she's wearing a new dress.
        G
You can tell by his smile my dad's impressed, so

C                                 Em
oh, why, oh, why, oh, why haven't I been shot?
         F                    G
I've had such a grudge on the angel assigned to me.
C                     Em
If I, if I, if I only risked my heart,
F
jumped into the dark,
      G
but I haven't since I was...

C                                 Em
Oh, why, oh, why, oh, why haven't I been shot?
         F                    G
I've had such a grudge on the angel assigned to me and
C                     Em
if I, if I, if I only risked my heart,
F
begged the falling stars,
      G                       C
but I haven't since I was thirteen.


C                              Em               G
No one ever shook me enough to wake my sleeping spirit up
C               Em                F               G
and no one ever hurt me enough to make me fall in love.
C                              Em               G
No one ever shook me enough to wake my sleeping spirit up
C               Em                F               G
and no one ever hurt me enough to make me fall in love.
C                              Em               G
No one ever shook me enough to wake my sleeping spirit up
C               Em                F             G
and no one ever hurt me enough to make me, just make me fall and...



No one ever hurt me enough to make me fall in love.
