[Verse]
Em                    D
I am nothing without pretend
        Am7
I know my faults
        C
Can't live with them

Em                    D
I am nothing without a man
        Am7
I know my thoughts
        C
But I can't hide them

Main chord progression between verses
Em D Am7 C

[Verse]
Em                    D
I still keep my baby teeth
        Am7                   C
In the bedside table with my jewelry

Em                    D
You still sleep in the bed with me,
  Am7                 C
My jewelry, and my baby teeth

[Verse]
I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can't kiss my own neck

Em D Am7 C

[Verse]
I wanted to give you everything
but I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did
