Intro:

C#

Verse:
 C#                   F#
There's a party and we're all going 
  G#             C#
And we're all growing up 
 C#                     F# 
Somebody's driving and he will be drinking 
  G#             C#
And no one's going back 
  C#                            F#
'Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full and 
  G#           A
Nothing seems enough 
  F#          
So tonight, tonight
  G#
The boys are gonna go for 
  A       B
More more more

Chorus:
 F#                     G#
And I want a love that falls as fast 
 C#                 A#
As a body from the balcony, and 
 F#                     G#                     C#
I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground 
 F#                          G#
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat 
        A#                   D#
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
   F#                  G#               C#
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be


Verse:
C#                          F#
Smell that, it's wet grass, and smoke in my hair 
G#                  C#
I think I've had enough 
C#                       F#
But he wants a finale and I came prepared 
 G#                 C#
And we're not going back 
 C#                        F#
And I've tried sharing and I've tried caring 
 G#                   A
And I've tried putting out 
         F#       G#    
But the boys boys boys keep coming on for 
A          B
More more more 
     F#           G# 
And change change change is gonna come, but 
A         B
When when when?


Chorus:
 F#                     G#
And I want a love that falls as fast 
 C#                 A#
As a body from the balcony, and 
 F#                     G#                     C#
I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground 
 F#                          G#
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat 
        A#                   D#
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
   F#                  G#               C#
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

Chorus:
 F#                     G#
And I want a love that falls as fast 
 C#                 A#
As a body from the balcony, and 
 F#                     G#                     C#
I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground 
 F#                          G#
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat 
        A#                   D#
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
   F#                  G#               C#
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
