Verse:
          E          B             E
All my friends are writing their resumes
       A                      B7         E
My responsible friends are applying for jobs
    G#                              C#m
But me, I was considering ditching Ezra, and going by Esme
 F#m             A            B
Baby, would you find that so odd?
            E          B         E
My dying friends are finding religion
              A                    B7          E
While my intellectual friends are all denying God
     G#
But me, I got just one ambition
     C#m               G#
I sit around all day wishing
           F#m     A           B
That the real me might be the one you want

Chorus:
A            B        E
   I want to be your girlfriend
            F#m                 E                B
I want to walk down the street hanging from your arm
         A                B     G#               C#m    E
That's right, little old me, I want to be your girlfriend
      A                B                E
And leave behind this loveless world I know


Repeat intro:
E     B E


Bridge:
           G# G# G#    G# G# G#     C#m                 A
Honey, I know that I don't have the body you want in a girlfriend
             F#m           B          E
What I am working with is less than ideal
     G# G# G#    G# G# G#         C#m                            A
But maybe,    baby, it's not all about what you thought that you wanted
       F#m                A        B
It's about the way I can make you feel
 B
Oooh


Chorus:
A            B        E
   I want to be your girlfriend
            F#m                 E                B
I want to walk down the street hanging on your arm
         A                B     G#              C#m   E
That's right, little old me, I want to be your girlfriend
      A                   B                  E
And blow your mind each night when you come home

G#      C#m
