 E|-----------7-7-7-5-7-----------7-7-7--

VERSE:
[G]I didn't take no shortcuts
I've spent the money that I saved up
[C]Oh, mama, running out of luck
They like my sister don't give a fuck
[G]I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life, it don't make sense
[C]Your strange manners I love 'em so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat

VERSE 2:
[G]Oh, should I work much harder
Or should I just not bother
[C]I never show up on weekdays
That's something that you learned yesterday
[G]Yeah, you don't work or you will be on time
These little parties they're not yours and mine
[C]Come on and listen to what I say
I got some secrets that'll make you stay
[Am]I just want to turn you down
I just want to turn you around
[C]Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted
But I want it all, I just can't figure [Am]out
nothing
BREAK: G
CHORUS:
And [G]all together it went well
We m[Em]ade pretend we were best friends
Th[G]en she said, oh, you're a freak
They [Em]ordered me to make mistakes
[G]Together again like the beginning
It [Em]all works out now in the end
The th[G]ings we did, the things you hide
[Em]And for the record it's between you and I

They 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]Your strange manners I love 'em so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat
[Am]I just want to missa'behave
I just want to be your slave
[C]Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted
But I want it all, I just can't figure [Am]out
nothing
BREAK: G
CHORUS:
And [G]all together it went well
We m[Em]ade pretend we were best friends
Th[G]en she said, oh, I can wait

It [Em]all works out now in the end
The th[G]ings we did, the things you hide

[G]I should have worked much harder
I should have just not bothered
[C]I never show up on weekdays
Somethin' that you learned yesterday
[G]Drive you to work, you'll be on time
Your little problems, they're not yours they're mine
[C]Come on listen to what I say
I got some secrets that'll make you stay
[Am]I just want to turn you down
I just want a turn you around
[C]You ain't never had nothin' I want but
I want it all, I just can't figure [Am]out
Nothin'[G]
[G]And all together it went well
[Em]We made pretend we were best friends
[G]Then she said "Oh, you're a freak" / "Oh, I can wait"
[Em]They ordered me to make mistakes
[G]Together again, like the beginnin'
[Em]It all works somehow in the end
[G]The things we did, the things you hide
[Em]But for the record it's between you and I
[Am]I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
[C]You ain't got nothin' I want but
I want it all, I just can't
[Am]Figure out
Nothin'
