[Verse]
E
Private school girls, private school boys

E                        D
Playing games, expensive toys

E
Private school girls, private school boys

                        D
Don DeLillo wrote White Noise

E                                 E                       D

Ah, fuck off, don't say I'd do the same

        G       Em              D
Getting off without an ounce of shame

        G     Em             D                   G
And you know, I just want to love you (but it's so hard!)

Yeah, I Just want to love you  (but it's so hard!)
*If you want to play the cute little piano riff over "I just want to love you", it's simply:
    I just...       ...but it's so hard!
