Verse 1:
F          C      F
So your grandmother sounds to me
          C      F
A woman I would be proud to be
         C        F
And you say she reminds you of me
          C
Every little boy is so naive


♫ Pre-Chorus:
C             Am    Em
I will not be a victim of romance
Am             Em
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Am            Em       G
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
     Am          Em    Am C C F
Who could get his dirty little hands on me

I've damn near got no dignity left
