[Verse 1]
Am        D  Am D
I wanted her

Am        D  Am D
I wanted her

     Am          D         Am          D
But she doesn't like the life that I lead

 Am          D        Am         D
She doesn't like the life that I lead

 Am           D      Am            D
Doesn't like sand stuck on her feet

Am           D       Am    D
Or sitting around smoking weed

   Am        D           Am         D
I must seem more like a friend in need
[Pre-Chorus]
D                                 D7
  And I boast that it is meant to be
[Chorus]
                 F G F
But in all honesty

G               D*      Em  F
I don't have a hope in hell

               G        F    G   F G
I'm happy just to watch her move

F                   G F
 And in all honesty

G               D*      Em F
I don't have a hope in hell

                G         F   G   F G
I'm happy just to watch her move
[Verse 2]
    Am           D          Am            D
And she doesn't like the friends that I make

  Am            D           Am          D
Doesn't make friends for friendship's sake

     Am        C7M*          Am       D
She just gets bored sitting by the lake

     Am          D             Am           D
Her soul won't surface and her heart won't ache
[Pre-Chorus]
D                                 D7
  And I boast that it is meant to be
[Chorus]
                 F G F
And in all honesty

G               D*      Em F
I don't have a hope in hell

               G         F   G   F G
I'm happy just to watch her move

[Pre-Chorus]
         D                           D7
And I thought they could cure his disease
[Chorus]
                F  G F
But in all honesty

     G            D*       Em F
He didn't have a hope in hell

                 G   F G  F
Now we'll never see him move
