(Repeat intro or F C G G x2)
F C The ghetto boys are cat-calling me G As I pull my keys from my pocket F C G I wonder if this method of courtship
Has ever been effective
F C Has any girl in history said G "Sure, you seem so nice, let's get it on"? F C G Still, I always shock them when I answer
"Hi, my name's Amanda"
F C And I'm not gonna live my life on one side of an ampersand G F and even if I went with you I'm not the girl you think I am F And I'm not gonna match you C cause I'll lose my voice completely, no G I'm not gonna watch you F Cause I'm not the one that's crazy
(Repeat intro or F C G G x2)
F C I have wasted years of my life G Agonizing about the fires F C G I started when I thought that to be strong you must be flame-retardant F C G And now to dress the wounds calls into question
How authentic they are
F C G There is always someone criticizing me
She just likes playing hospital
F C G Lying in my bed F C G I remember what you said
"There's no such thing as accidents"
Am But you've got the headstone all ready C All carved up and pretty G Your sick satisfaction F Those his and hers matching Am The daisies all push up in C Pairs to the horizons G Your hands full of ketchup F It's nice that you're trying Am The headstone's all ready C All carved up and pretty G Your sick satisfaction F Those his and hers matching Am The daises all push up in C Pairs to the horizons G Your eyes full of ketchup F It's nice that you're trying F C And I'm not gonna live my life on one side of an ampersand G F and even if I went with you I'm not the girl you think I am F And I'm not gonna match you C cause I'll lose my voice completely, no G I'm not gonna watch you F C G Cause I'm not the one that's crazy F Yeah... F C As I wake up - two o'clock - G The fire burned the block F C But ironically stopped at my apartment G And my housemates are all sleeping soundly F C And nobody deserves to die G But you were awful adamant F C That if I didn't love you G Then you had just one alternative F And I may be romantic C And I may risk my life for it G But I ain't gonna die for you F You know I ain't no Juliet F C And I'm not gonna watch you while you burn yourself out, baby G No, I'm not gonna stop you F C G F Cause I'm not the one that's crazy, yeah C G F I'm not the one that's crazy, yeah (C) I'm not the one that's crazy...
