A -- Your brother was the first-born, got ten Bm Fingers and ten toes, And it's a G Damn good thing cause he needs all twenty just to Em Keep the closet door G Closed.

Em -- Or maybe you're just a desti- G nation, a place for me to go that D Keeps me from having to deal with my A Seventeen-year-old mind all a- Em lone. So keep your drawers on, girl, G It ain't worth the fight. By the D Time you drop them I'll be gone and you'll A Be right where they fall the rest of your

Tired of me taking you for
G Granted, Waiting up 'till the last D Minute to call you up and see A What you want to do. But you're Em Only fifteen, girl, you ain't G Got no secretary. And "For D Granted" is a mighty big word for a A Country girl like you. I think that's Em Just your Daddy talking, Cause he G Knows that blood red carpet down at the D Salem Church of Christ ain't gonna A ever see no wedding between
