Capo on 4th fret
	        
 
Am 
I forget how the West was won 
F 
I forget if this was ever fun 
C                                    G 
I just learned these people only raise you to cage you 
Am 
Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best 
F 
Clutching their pearls, sighing: What a mess 
C                                      G 
I just learned these people try and save you 'cause they hate you 

Am           F                     C           G 
Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it 
Am                 F                  C 
They slammed the door on my whole world 
                   G 
The one thing I wanted 

      C 
Now I'm running with my dress unbuttoned 
F 
Screaming: But, daddy, I love him! 
G 
I'm having his baby 
       F 
No, I'm 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                                   F 
I know he's crazy, but he's the one that I want 

Am 
Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid 
F 
Tendrils tucked into a woven braid 
C                                  G 
Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all 
Am 
He was chaos, he was revelry 
F 
Bedroom eyes like a remedy 
C                                G 
Soon enough, the elders had convened down at the City Hall 

Am               F               C 
Stay away from her, the saboteurs protested 
     G 
Too much 
Am              F                 C 
Lord knows the words we never heard 
                                   G 
Just screeching tires and true love 

     C 
And I'm running with my dress unbuttoned 
F 
Screaming: But, daddy, I love him! 
G 
I'm having his baby 
       F 
No, I'm 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                                   F 
I know he's crazy, but he's the one that I want 

C                           F 
I'll tell you something right now 
                        G 
I'd rather burn my whole life down 
                          F 
Than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning 
C                                   F 
I'll tell you something about my good name 
                      G 
It's mine alone to disgrace 
                               F 
I don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empaths clothing 

Am                     F 
God saved the most judgmental creeps, who 
                        G 
Say they want what's best for me 

Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll 
       Am 
Never see 
                    F 
Thinking it can change the beat of my heart 
            G 
When he touches me 
And counteract the chemistry and undo the 
C     G 
Destiny 
                   F 
You ain't gotta pray for me 
              Am                      G 
Me and my wild boy, and all this wild joy 
C  G               . F 
If all you want is grey for me, then it's just 
Am                                   G 
White noise, then it's just my choice 

Am 
There's a lotta people in town that I 
F 
Bestow upon my fakest smiles 
C 
Scandal does funny things to pride 
         G 
But brings 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 
             G 
But fuck 'em, it's over 

C 
Now I'm dancing in my dress in the Sun and 
F 
Even my daddy just loves him 
G 
I'm his lady 
F 
And, 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 it's crazy 
               F 
But he's the one I love 

C                           G 
I'll tell you something right now 
                   Am 
You ain't gotta pray for me 
             F 
Me and my wild boy, and all of this wild joy 
C                             G 
(It was chaos, it was revelry) 
                      Am 
If all you want is gray for me 
                        F 
Then it's just white noise, it's my choice 
C G                             Am 
Screamin': But, daddy, I love him! 
                  F 
I'm having his baby 
        C 
No, I'm not 
     G                       Am 
But you should see your faces 
     F 
And, oh, my God, you should see your faces 

Final C  G  Am  F
