Intro:
C F G F

Verse 1:
            C
I have this dream that I am hitting my dad with a baseball bat

          F
And he is screaming and crying for help

          G
And maybe halfway through it has more to do with me killing him

        F
Than it ever did protecting myself

      C
And I believe that, yeah dad, maybe nobody's perfect

      F
But I believe that you were pushing your luck

G
It just sucks it played out this way, a terrible movie

                  F
You can tell that none of the actors even give a fuck


Pre-chorus:
         Am                G                          F
You were good tonight girlfriend, can I sleep in your bed?

           Am                   G              F
And when I wake call out in the morning, can I stay inside your head?


G    G   G

Chorus:
             F          G          Am
But you were high school, 

    C                         F
And I was just more like real life,

             F        G          Am
And you were okay, okay, as a girlfriend

    C                        F
But I was just more like his wife

              F      G             Am
I'll wear the makeup, I'll do the pushups 
           
           C                  F
I'll do whatever he wants all night

             F        G          Am
Cos you were okay, okay, as a girlfriend

    C                         F
But I was just more like real life
