Version 1
            [Intro]
G  C


[Verse 1]
G
 I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
C
 Oh, Momma running out of luck
Like my sister, don't give a fuck
G
 I wanna steal your innocence
To me, my life, it don't make sense
C
 Those strange manners, I loved 'em so
"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"


[Interlude]
G  C  G  C


[Verse 2]
G
 I should've worked much harder
I should've just not bothered
C
 I never show up on weekdays
Something that you learned yesterday
G
 "Drive you to work; you'll be on time
These little problems they're not yours, they're mine,"
C
 "Come on and listen to what I say
I've got some secrets that'll make you stay"


[Bridge]
Dm
 I just want to turn you down
I just want to turn you around
Em
 Oh, you ain't never had nothin' I wanted, but...
I want it all     
                  Am
I just can't figure out...

Nothin'


[Interlude]
G  G  G  G

 
[Chorus]
    G/D
And all together it went well
   Em 
We made pretend we were best friends
G/D
Then she said, "Oh, you're a freak"
       Em
"They ordered me to make mistakes"
  G/D
Together again, like the beginning
   Em
It all works somehow in the end
    G/D
The things we did, the things you hide
Em
 Oh for the record it's between you and I


[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
G
 Oh, I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
C
 Oh, Momma running out of luck
Like my sister, don't give a fuck
G
 I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life, it just don't make any sense
C 
 Those strange manners, I loved 'em so
"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
 I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
Em
 Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted, but...
I want it all
                  Am
I just can't figure out...

Nothin'


[Interlude]
G  G  G  G 


[Chorus]
    G/D
And all together it went well
   Em
We made pretend we were best friends
G/D
Then she said, "Oh, I can wait"
      Em
They ordered me to make mistakes
  G/D
Together again like the beginning
   Em
It all works somehow in the end
    G/D
The things we did, the things you hide
Em                                        G
And for the record, it's between you and I
