When I was in grade six
	    Csus2						G
I used to hold open the door for a girl and she called me a wimp
		   C		  C/B  Am			   G
She said there just isn't no need to be so fucking polite
	     C	     C/B  Am			     G
I politely agreed with her           I think she was right
      Am			 G
It just never entered my mind
	 Am						   G    C  C/B  Am  G
That a twelve year old came down to choosing sides
(with fill 1)	Csus2 - G
You said that I'd die if I had nothing to do
	Csus2				 G
Put a drink in my hand and I'd talk to anything that moves
	   C		C/B			Am				G
I just refused to give you what you think would make things right
		C    C/B		    Am		   G
And just to find hate when you've lost the will to fight

And times when it still feels right
  Csus2				     G
I hold open the door for a girl or back down from a fight
