    C majorC         G+G       A minorAm
Well it seems you've got a baby girl to a man
       E minorEm
who will not love you well
C majorC                 G+G
and you're walking down Brunswick street
      A minorAm           E minorEm
and you're buying the baby's tears with treats.
C majorC         G+G
You look perfect, you look fine
    A minorAm        E minorEm
and you hold it together most of the time
       C majorC
but when the baby's crying
  G+G       A minorAm
and you know, he's lying...
      C majorC        G+G
He was the best looking boy you'd known
    A minorAm       E minorEm
so you married him and made him home.
    C majorC   G+G
Dropped out of university
A minorAm          E minorEm
all because he said "Well Honey, you're pretty."
    C majorC          G+G
Yes, you are pretty but you are not fine
       A minorAm        E minorEm
'cause you've forgotten you're partly Divine
      C majorC            G+G
and if you don't start crying,
       A minorAm      G+G
you may never shine.
G+G          D MajorD
Step on out of line,
     E minorEm        C majorC     C majorC G+G
Out..si....de the square I dare you
G+G         D MajorD
To just not give a damn.
             E minorEm
'Cause people won't understand?
        C majorC
Don't let them scare you.

C majorC                 G+G
You play boy games and he plays girl games
  A minorAm       E minorEm
and every Saturday, you swap over again,
C majorC           G+G
and you wonder why he "Just don't hear!".
A minorAm        E minorEm           C majorC
Are you saying it loud, are you making it clear
      G+G
or are you hiding away,
A minorAm        E minorEm       C majorC      G+G
behind all those perfect things that you say?

A minorAm                 C majorC
Hey You know that you don't wanna be,
        G+G
You don't wanna be,
  A minorAm
You don't wanna be,
C majorC        G+G    A minorAm     G+G C majorC
You don't wanna be no oh divorcee by 20 3.
G+G           A minorAm    E minorEm
Well is that your best reason to stay?
G+G               A minorAm
You're worried about what your brothers' friends'
                 C majorC
mothers' might one day say ay ay hey?

G+G       D MajorD
Step on out of line,
     E minorEm      C majorC            G+G
Outsi..de the square I dare... you ooh ooh ooh ooh
          D MajorD
To just not give a damn.

'Cause people won't understand?

Don't let them scare you you you you.
G+G                D MajorD
You really should step on out of line,
    E minorEm
Outsi......de
  C majorC       G+G
the square I dare you
          D MajorD
To go confront your man
     E minorEm              C majorC
Help him understand these subtleties about you.

      C majorC        G+G
You you you you don't wanna be,
A minorAm       E minorEm
You don't wanna be,

 Think about what your baby girl might one day say.
