[Verse 1]
C#m
 I forget how the West was won

A
 I forget if this was ever fun

E                                 B
 I just learned these people only raise you to cage you

C#m
 Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best

A
 Clutching their pearls, sighing "what a mess"

E                                    B
 I just learned these people try and save you 'cause they hate you
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m         A                  E             B
 Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it

C#m               A                E
 They slammed the door on my whole world

                 B
 The one thing I wanted
[Chorus]
     E
 Now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned

A
 Screaming, "But Daddy, I love him!"

 B
 I'm having his baby

         A
 No, I'm not, but you should see your faces

 E
 I'm telling him to floor it through the fences

A
 No, I'm not coming to my senses

 B                               A
 I know he's crazy, but he's the one I want
[Verse 2]
C#m
 Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid

A
 Tendrils tucked into a woven braid

E                                B
 Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all

C#m
 He was chaos, he was revelry

A
 Bedroom eyes like a remedy

E                               B
 Soon enough, the elders had convened down at the city hall
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m              A             E               B
 "Stay away from her," the saboteurs protested too much

C#m             A              E
 Lord knows the words we never heard

                           B
 Just screeching tires and true love
[Chorus]
     E
 Now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned

A
 Screaming, "But Daddy, I love him!"

 B
 I'm having his baby

         A
 No, I'm not, but you should see your faces

 E
 I'm telling him to floor it through the fences

A
 No, I'm not coming to my senses

 B                               A
 I know he's crazy, but he's the one I want
[Bridge]
E                        A
 I'll tell you something right now

                          B
 I'd rather burn my whole life down

                         A
 Than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning

 E                                A
 I'll tell you something about my good name

                    B
 It's mine alone to disgrace

                            A
 I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's clothing

 C#m                    A
 God save the most judgemental creeps

                          B
 Who say they want what's best for me

                                                   C#m
 Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see

                 A
 Thinking it can change the beat

                     B
 Of my heart when he touches me and counteract the chemistry

              E     B
 And undo the destiny

                 A
 You ain't gotta pray for me

           C#m                    B
 Me and my wild boy, and all this wild joy

E B                    A
    If all you want is grey for me

                C#m                        B
 Then it's just white noise, and it's just my choice
[Verse 3]
C#m
 There's a lot of people in town that I

A
 Bestow upon my fakest smiles

E                                            B
 Scandal does funny things to pride but brings lovers closer

C#m
 We came back when the heat died down

A
 Went to my parents and they came around

E
 All the wine moms are still holding out

     B
 But fuck 'em, it's over
[Chorus]
     E
 Now I'm dancing in my dress in the sun

A
 And even my daddy just loves him

 B
 I'm his lady

     A
 And oh my God, you should see your faces

 E
 Time, doesn't it give some perspective?

A
 No, you can't come to the wedding

 B                               A
 I know he's crazy, but he's the one I want
[Outro]
E                        B
 I'll tell you something right now

                 C#m
 You ain't gotta pray for me

           A
 Me and my wild boy, and all this wild joy

  E                          B
 (He was chaos, he was revelry)

                    C#m
 If all you want is gray for me

                A
 Then it's just white noise, it's my choice

E B                                C#m
    Screaming, "But Daddy, I love him!"

                A
 I'm having his baby

         E        B                   C#m
 No, I'm not, but you should see your faces

     A
 But oh my God, you should see your faces
E B C#m A
