Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
[Verse 1]
B F#
Maybe one summer, in a few years
E
I'll be the aging party girl
C#m D#m E
Hungry for the seventh time that week
F# E
I put my shoes on, one by one
B
Just like a person should
F#
I work up my nerves
E B
And then I wake up from the dream
F# E
Feet planted firmly on the brides side
(Haven't you gotten tall?)
F# E
I say my prayers through gritted teeth
(Another maze to solve)
F# E
Stuck bringing flowers to a gunfight
C#m C# B E
And I can't even say what I think
[Chorus]
G#m F#
So I go out and bring home a drummer
D#m E
Tug at the strings to be safe
C#m D#m
Thought I would cry but I didn't
E
I wanted to anyway
G#m F#
And I wanted to love you that summer but
D# E
She got in the way
F# E B
Susannah at the wedding, swears I'll be okay
[Verse 2]
F#
I crack your window
E B
Just smell a bit of seventh grade
F#
I'll keep coming back
E B
Until someone calls the police
F# E
Trade in a secret for a rewrite
(Exception to the rule)
F# E
Sit pretty for the third degree
(He brings back boys from school)
F# E
A hothouse flower in the limelight
C# D# E
And I don't even look like me
[Chorus]
G#m F#
So I go out and bring home a drummer
D#m E
Tug at the strings to be safe
C#m D#m
Thought I would cry but I didn't
E
I wanted to anyway
G#m F#
And I wanted to love you that summer but
D# E
She got in the way
F# E B
Susannah at the wedding, swears I'll be okay
[Instrumental]
G#m F# B E C# D#m E F#
G#m F# D#m E F# E B
[Outro]
F# E
There's no room in you for the things that I like
F# E
There's no room in you for the things that I like
F# E
There's no room in you for the things that I like
F# E
There's no room in you for the things that I like
(If you asked I would have come
but I don't say it's where I'm from)
