[Intro] G C [Verse 1]

G
 I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

C
 Oh, Momma running out of luck

Like my sister, don't give a fuck

G
 I wanna steal your innocence

To me, my life, it don't make sense

C
 Those strange manners, I loved 'em so

"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?" [Interlude] G C G C [Verse 2]

G
 I should've worked much harder

I should've just not bothered

C
 I never show up on weekdays

Something that you learned yesterday

G
 "Drive you to work; you'll be on time

These little problems they're not yours, they're mine,"

C
 "Come on and listen to what I say

I've got some secrets that'll make you stay" [Bridge]

Dm
 I just want to turn you down

I just want to turn you around

Em
 Oh, you ain't never had nothin' I wanted, but...

I want it all

                  Am
I just can't figure out...

Nothin' [Interlude] G G G G [Chorus]

    G/D
And all together it went well

   Em 
We made pretend we were best friends

G/D
Then she said, "Oh, you're a freak"

       Em
"They ordered me to make mistakes"

  G/D
Together again, like the beginning

   Em
It all works somehow in the end

    G/D
The things we did, the things you hide

Em
 Oh for the record it's between you and I

[Interlude] G C G C [Verse 3]

G
 Oh, I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

C
 Oh, Momma running out of luck

Like my sister, don't give a fuck

G
 I wanna steal your innocence

To me my life, it just don't make any sense

C 
 Those strange manners, I loved 'em so

"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?" [Pre-Chorus]

Dm
 I just want to misbehave

I just want to be your slave

Em
 Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted, but...

I want it all

                  Am
I just can't figure out...

Nothin' [Interlude] G G G G [Chorus]

    G/D
And all together it went well

   Em
We made pretend we were best friends

G/D
Then she said, "Oh, I can wait"

      Em
They ordered me to make mistakes

  G/D
Together again like the beginning

   Em
It all works somehow in the end

    G/D
The things we did, the things you hide

Em                                        G
And for the record, it's between you and I
