Capo ♪ fret 4

[Am]i forget how the west was won..

[F]i forget if this was ever fun..

[C]i just learned these people

only [G]raise you to cage you

[Am]sarahs and hannahs in their sunday best

[F]clutching their pearls, sighing, “what a mess”

[C]i just learned these people try and [G]save you

cause they hate you

[Am] too high a [F]horse..

for a simple [C]girl to rise a[G]bove it..

[Am] they slammed the [F]door..

on my whole [C]world.. the one thing i [G]wanted..

Chorus

now [C]i’m running with my dress unbuttoned

[F] screaming, “but daddy, i love him!

[G]i’m having his baby”

no, i’m [F]not, but you should see your faces

[C]i’m telling him to floor it through the fences

[F] no, i’m not coming to my senses

[G]i know he’s crazy but he’s the [F]one i want..

[Am]dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid..

[F]tendrils tucked into a woven braid..

[C]growing up precocious sometimes [G]means..

not growing up at all

[Am]he was chaos, he was revelry..

[F]bedroom eyes like a remedy..

[C]soon enough the elders had con[G]vened..

down at the city hall

[Am]“stay away from [F]her..”

the sabo[C]teurs.. protested [G]too much..

[Am] Lord knows the [F]words.. we never [C]heard..

just screeching tires and [G]true love..

Chorus

and [C]i’m running with my dress unbuttoned

[F] screaming, “but daddy, i love him!

[G]i’m having his baby”

no, i’m [F]not, but you should see your faces

[C]i’m telling him to floor it through the fences

[F] no, i’m not coming to my senses

[G]i know he’s crazy but he’s the [F]one i want..

[C]i’ll tell you something [F]right now

i’d rather burn my whole [G]life down

than listen to one more se[F]cond

of all this bitching and moaning

[C]i’ll tell you something about my [F]good name

it’s mine alone to [G]disgrace

i don’t cater to all these [F]vipers

dressed in empath’s clothing

[Am] God save the most judg[F]mental creeps

who say they want what’s [G]best for me

sanctimonious[G]ly performing soliloquies

i’ll [Am]never see

thinking it can [F]change the beat

of my heart when he [G]touches me

and counteract the [G]chemistry

and undo the [C]destiny.[G].

you ain’t gotta [F]pray for me..

me and my [Am]wild boy and all this [G]wild joy..

[C] [G] if all you want is [F]gray for me..

then it’s just [Am]white noise..

and it’s just[G] my choice..

[Am]there’s a lot of people in town that i..

bes[F]tow upon my fakest smiles..

[C]scandal does funny things to pride

but brings [G]lovers closer..

[Am]we came back when the heat died down..

[F]went to my parents and they came around..

[C]all the wine moms are still holding out..

but [G]fuck ’em, it’s over..

Chorus

now [C]i’m dancing in my dress in the sun and

[F] even my daddy just loves him

[G]i’m his lady

and [F]oh my God, you should see your faces

[C]time, doesn’t it give some perspective?

[F] and no, you can’t come to the wedding

[G]i know he’s crazy, but he’s the [F]one i want..

[C] i’ll tell you something [F]right now

you ain’t gotta [G]pray for me..

me and my [F]wild boy and all of this wild joy..

[C]

(he was chaos, he was revelry)

[F] if all you want is [G]gray for me..

then it’s just [F]white noise.. and it’s my choice..

[C] [F] screaming, “but daddy, i love him..!

[G] i’m having his [F]baby..”

no, i’m [C]not.. but [F]you

should see your [G]faces..

but [F]oh my God, you should see your faces..
