A|---5-5-5-7-------------5-5-5-7-------- x2
E|-----------7-7-7-5-7-----------7-7-7--

VERSE:
[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

D|---3--3--3--3----2--2--2--2---

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
But I want it all, I just can't figure [Am]out
nothing

BREAK: G

CHORUS:
And [G]all together it went well
We m[Em]ade pretend we were best friends
Th[G]en she said, oh, you're a freak
They [Em]ordered me to make mistakes
[G]Together again like the beginning
It [Em]all works out now in the end
The th[G]ings we did, the things you hide
[Em]And for the record it's between you and I

They 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]Your strange manners I love 'em so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat
[Am]I just want to missa'behave
I just want to be your slave
[C]Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted
But I want it all, I just can't figure [Am]out
nothing

BREAK: G

CHORUS:
And [G]all together it went well
We m[Em]ade pretend we were best friends
Th[G]en she said, oh, I can wait

It [Em]all works out now in the end
The th[G]ings we did, the things you hide
[Em]And for the record it's between you and I
