Chords with lyrics

verse 1
FF       AbAb        FF      AbAb
Oh my Mother, let your daughter dance with me
FF      AbAb            FF       AbAb
I'd like to spin her wild around the cottonwood tree
    BbmBbm         DbmDbm        BbmBbm
There's something about her eyes, I think her roots are rotten
FF        AbAb          FF     Abadd13
This must be the reason she wears her hair up in knots, oh no

Pre-Chorus
FF           AbAb
This is so embarrassing
FF         AbAb
Ah, we're pissing fits
F minorFm             FF         AbAb
Crying on our doorsteps in t-shirts loose and ripped
Bb majorBb               BbmBbm
Some of them so out of style I cannot save them
FF                AbAb
They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them

C majorC
Keep the weed next to the bed
Bb majorBb
Light the water, check for lead
C majorC
Dim the lights a little lower
Bb majorBb
Hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders
C majorC
Give the gift that fits your head
Bb majorBb               FF AbAb FF AbAb
You have to get this turtleneck

verse 2
  F minorFm                    FF        AbAb
The poor, they leave their cellphones in the bathrooms of the rich
       FF        AbAb    FF     AbAb
And when they try to turn them off everything they switch to
     Bb majorBb              Bb majorBb     AbAb
Is just another man, in shitty suits, everybody's cheering for
FF        AbAb        F minorFm
This must be the genius we've been waiting years for, oh no

Pre-Chorus
FF           AbAb
This is so embarrassing
FF         AbAb
Ah, we're pissing fits
F minorFm             FF         AbAb
Crying on our doorsteps in t-shirts loose and ripped
Bb majorBb               BbmBbm
Some of them so out of style I cannot save them
FF                AbAb
They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them
