The Wrong Girl
View chords used in this chart
Dm Am G
So the floodgates open but nothing comes out
Dm Am G
I'm feeling no relief in my head, just doubt
Dm Am G
But my heart keeps telling me 'hold your ground
Dm Am G
You'll never learn a thing if you bail out now
Am G Dm
And I'm lonely again tonight
Am G Dm
I can feel it like a knot in my side
Am G Dm
They keep saying this is part of the ride
Am G Dm
But im not getting stronger
Am G Dm
Yet hold me against the light
Am G Dm
And do you see any bullet inside?
Am G Dm
Wouldnt find one if you magnified
Am G Dm
Because you've got the wrong girl
Dm Am G
Had my fingers round the back of your chair
Dm Am G
You'd never miss a thing but you missed me there
Dm Am G
And I kept thinking 'Am I prepared
Dm Am G
To pull it out from under your trusting stare'
Dm Am G
Now the house is quiet as a hollow head
Dm Am G
And I'm walking around bumping into things you said
Dm Am G
This has not been as easy as I thought it would
Dm Am G
I'd be cooling down the fire if I thought I could
Am G Dm
And I'm lonely again tonight
Am G Dm
I can feel it like a knot in my side
Am G Dm
They keep saying this is part of the ride
Am G Dm
But im not getting stronger
Am G Dm
Yet hold me against the light
Am G Dm
And do you see any bullet inside?
Am G Dm
Wouldnt find one if you magnified
Am G Dm
Because you've got the wrong girl
