 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
 Am
But I want it all, I just can't figure out
nothing
BREAK: G
CHORUS:
 G
And all together it went well
 Em
We made pretend we were best friends
 G
Then she said, oh, you're a freak
 Em
They ordered me to make mistakes
 G
 Together again like the beginning
 Em
It all works out now in the end
 G
The things we did, the things you hide
 Em
 And for the record it's between you and I
