by the sweet Lily Allen (all chords relative to capo) i couldn't stand being wrong anymore and the acoustic version has more stuff going on. it's easier than it looks. intro G D Em D Gb verse 1
 Bm          E          G          D   Gb
When she was 22 the future looked bright

 Bm          E                       G  D  Em  D Gb
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night

 Bm          E              G                    D       Gb
I see that look in her face she's got that look in her eye

 Bm                       E             G  D  Em   D
She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why
chorus
 Em               D                 A
It's sad but it's true how society says

                    G
Her life is already over

 Em                D                         A
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say

 Em                D                            A
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his

It seems so unlikely in this day and age

  Bm          E          G             D     Gb
She's got an alright job but it's not a career

  Bm          E                      G  D  Em  D Gb
Whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears

  Bm                    E             
Cause all she wants is a boyfriend

  G                 D Gb
She gets one-night stands

  Bm                      E
She's thinking how did I get here

I'm doing all that I can
