D                A    D
How happy are some?

A                      G       D
But how tragic are the others?

A                 D
Though I try to run

A                   G
I’m surrounded by young lovers

D
Hello, friend that’s so nice, I’m delighted for ya

D
Met some guy on the fly who just might adore ya

G
That’s what dreams are made of

G
That picture-perfect fairytale love

D
Okay, look, I got hooked on the books I read

D
They went to my head

G
But nobody said “Girl, here’s the truth:

G                                                   Bm
A man that you crave may not be on the same page as you”

                            A
Now they tell me “Brush it off”

                      G
That it’s just “puppy love”

G
Well, maybe they’re right

G
‘cause it feels like I’m

D             Em
Chasing my tail

Bm          A
Running in circles

G
Over you

Bm          A
I’m getting nowhere fast

D            Em
Chasing my tail

Bm          A                    G
Lost, and I don’t know where to start

A                              D
Tryna find the way to your heart

D   A
Now would you believe

D   A
I wear my heart on my sleeve?

G   A
How refreshing!

G   A
A girl that’s obsessing

G
Over a boy who keeps her second-guessing

D
But he gives me some sugar and takes it away

D
And before you know it I’m a cliché

            G
Everybody pities me

G
And it shits me

G
‘cause they used to say

G
“it’s only cause he likes you that he treats you that way”

Bm
 But all of a sudden they change their tune,

A
Saying “he’s just not into you”

G
“You’re barking up the wrong tree”

Em            F#m  G
But I know he was mine

                     D
Until she caught his eye

                          A
And he got trapped in her spell

Em                 F#m G
But when she’s out of view

                     D
He’ll see my love is true

                     B
And he’ll be chasing me, yeah!

E              F#m
Chasing my tail

C#m         B               A
Panting and begging for my love

C#m          B
Look how the tables turned!

E            F#m
Chasing my tail

C#m         B
Grabbing him by the collar

A
Saying come follow me

B                          E
It’s my chance to take the lead

C                D         Em
It’s my chance to change his mind

              D            G
Show him this heart of mine

                          C     G  D
Help him see that we were meant to be

Em                 D        C
It’s my chance to take the lead
