1. 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.

C

"Why won't you wear your new trench coat ?"

2. 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, and you'll be on time,

G

these little problems, they're not yours, they're mine,"

C

"Come on and listen to what I say,

C

I've got some secrets that'll make you stay".

D

I just want to turn you down, I just want to turn you around.

C

Oh, you ain't never had nothin' I wanted,

Am

but I want it all, I just can't figure out. Nothin'.

G

And all together it went well,

we made pretend we were best friends.

G

Then she said, "Oh, you're a freak !"

Em

"They ordered me to make mistakes".

G

Together again, like the beginning,

Em

it all works somehow in the end.

G

The things we did, the things you hide,

Em

oh, for the record it's between you and I.
