Race chords by Melanie Martinez

• Capo on 7th

Intro: E Am

Verse:
E
Sweet sweet hold you gently have over me
      Am
Caught me with your eyes and lips like sweet honey
  E
Too bad I'm not as sweet as her honey tastes
      Am         Dm
Cause the average girl simply won that race

   E
That race you kept on giving me
    Am
Left me hanging wanting more till you broke free
   E
Bet shes sweet but not as sweet as I could've been
      Am          Dm
girls like her come and go like the boring wind

      Am
But I'm the type that stays
                   E
with your heart and my heart in many different ways
              Am                        E
I call you making sure that you're alright in the day or in the middle of the night
          Am
sorry if that isn't good enough
            E
confusion has become a little rough
              Am
and I'll be on you like the clothes you wear
                E
and run my fingers through your curled gelled hair
            Am         Dm          E
but for now ill let the race be won by the girl without a boy at home


Verse:
E
Hands so purple,

from the knuckle aches,

it's 'cause they,
Am
create fragile hearts to break.


   E
But a player, will soon see that

his karma goes bad,
     Am
when the girl that he wants,
   Dm
stabs him in the back


      Am
But I'm the type that stays
                   E
with your heart and my heart in many different ways
              Am                        E
I call you making sure that you're alright in the day or in the middle of the night
          Am
sorry if that isn't good enough
            E
confusion has become a little rough
              Am
and I'll be on you like the clothes you wear
                E
and run my fingers through your curled gelled hair
            Am         Dm          E
but for now ill let the race be won by the girl without a boy at home
