Verse 1:
FF
You ain't no shrinking violet are you
C majorC
And you love to bat your eyelids don't you
G+G A minorAm G+G
You know all the times that I'm ashamed
FF
And all those words you said misspoken
C majorC
To all those boys who left you broken
G+G A minorAm G+G
Ain't no need for placing any blame
FF
'Cause if it wasn't for you crying there
C majorC
In Ohio just last year
G+G A minorAm G+G
All the love I got would've been in vain
FF
So I'll wake up for work
C majorC
And tug a little on your shirt
G+G A minorAm G+G
Hope you know the depths I'd go would be insane
Chorus:
FF C majorC
For a girl like you who needs trust but needs freedom
G+G A minorAm G+G
Who wants love but would be fine on her own
FF C majorC
For a girl like you with your Daddy's mannerisms
G+G A minorAm G+G
And a soft smile makes the distance less alone
FF C majorC G+G
In a world that's full of wanting what is next
A minorAm G+G
I'll stay here with you Elisabeth

'Cause she left me with a girl like you
