Dsus2         Dsus2/C#       G/B    Asus4  A
Girls like me aren't hard to find

   G               D6/F#      Em    Asus4  A
We grow like roses on the vine

    Dsus2          Dsus2/C#  G/B    Asus4  A
And wear our hearts on our  sleeves

    G               D6/F#     Em    Asus4  A
You probably know a girl like me
[Verse 2]
   Dsus2          Dsus2/C#     G/B    Asus4  A
We live alone and in our heads

   G              D6/F#      Em       Asus4  A
We eat standing up or in our beds

Dsus2          Dsus2/C#  G/B          Asus4  A
Guilt and fear merge easily

       G             D6/F#       Em   Asus4  A
In the quiet souls of girls like me
[Chorus]
    Cadd9                G/B
And loneliness is like a cold

                         Cadd9
Common and no cure we're told

                             Asus2
We take to bed per chance to dream

       A    Asus4        Dsus2  Dsus2/C#   G/B   Asus4  A
In the blue light of the TV      screen
[Verse 3]
Dsus2         Dsus2/C#    G/B      Asus4  A
Girls like me like summer light

      G             D6/F#   Em     Asus4  A
And a cold beer on a summer night

             D            Dsus2/C#      G/B    Asus4  A
And boys who aren't afraid of what they see

  G            D6/F#          Em   Asus4  A
Inside the eyes of girls like me
[Chorus]
Cadd9                      G/B
 And hopefulness is like a drug

                           Cadd9
It makes a girl believe in love

                           Asus2
And if somehow you love us back

   A     Asus4             Dsus2      Dsus2/C#   G/B   Asus4  A
We think there's something wrong with that
[Instrumental] | G6 | D6/F# | Em | Asus4 A | | Dsus2 | Dsus2/C# | G/B | Asus4 A | | G6 | D6/F# | Em | Asus4 A | [Verse 4]
Dsus2        Dsus2/C#        G/B    Asus4  A
Girls like me aren't hard to trust

     G               D6/F#     Em   Asus4  A
Your deepest secrets safe with us

    Dsus2         Dsus2/C#    G/B   Asus4  A
And when it's time we set you free

        G               D6/F#      Em    D6/F#
You can always count on girls like me

     G              D6/F#     Em    D6/F#
It's good to know a girl like me

    G           D6/F#        Em  D6sus4/F#  G  A
You used to love a girl like me
