G 
I didn't take no shortcuts 
I spent the money that I saved up 
 
C 
Aw mama runnin' out of luck 
Well like my sister don't give a fuck 
 
G 
I wanna steal your innocence 
To me my life it just don't make sense 
 
C 
Aw your strange manners, I love you so 
Why won't you wear your new trench coat

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 
                                   Am 
I want it all, I just can't figure out 
       G 
Nothin' 
 
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'
