Hi, guys. I know this is not perfect. The intro and the first part of the verses were quite hard to figure out and I'm sure that there's a better solution for it. I just didn't find it out :D So if you know how to play it better, please, contact me ! Also for critisism, suggestions, requests or anything you want to tell me, feel free to do so, for example in my comments. So I really love Marina, she is a fantastic artist and I'm sure I'm going to do a lot more of her. I hope you're having fun with it. :) No capo. Dm Dm Dm F C Dm

but he always ran away 'cause he didn't want me.
