Tom: D
G
My friend drove me to the party
Bm G
In her red velvet dress
Bm
She's always looking at her best
G
For the tall and pretty boys
Bm
I'm shaking to the core now
A
These things get the best of me
N.C
These goddamn kids can be so mean
G Bm
Now here comes James with the long brown hair
G
A sense of bitterness fills the air
Bm
He sees me standing next to the girls
N/C
and he shakes his head
G Bm
So smug he towers over me
A
I'm scared he's gonna try and cause a scene
Bm
So I tell him patiently
[Chorus]
G A
It took me a while
Bm G
To be where I am now
D
I learned how to fight back
Bm G
You don't even wanna know how
D
He then smirks slowly
A Bm Em
And he pats my back
D
he says 'the girls want a real boy'
Em
'and you're not that'
D
'the girls want a real boy'
N.C
'and you're not that'
Em
Now everybody's dancing
G
And I'm just sitting in the corner
D
With my vodka orange juice
Em
I never should have come here
G
But I don't have a ride home
D
And it's no offense to you
[Verse 2]
G Bm
Now I don't blame you, James
N.C
But I can't help the way I am
G
I didn't sign up for this life
Bm
but I'm doing the best that I can
G Bm
And It gets hard sometimes
A
Boy I've tried to commit suicide
N.C
multiple times
[Chorus]
G A
It took me a while
D G
To be where I am now
A
I learned how to fight back
G
You don't even wanna know how
A
Still, I look in the mirror
Bm Em
And another looks back
D
she says ' the girls want a real boy'
Em D
and she said 'the girls want a real boy'
[Chorus]
Em
Now everybody's dancing
G
And I'm just sitting in the corner
D
With my vodka orange juice
Em
I never should have come here
G
But I don't have a ride home
D
And it's all thanks to you
Em
Now everybody's dancing
G
And I'm just sitting in the corner
D
With my vodka orange juice
Em
I never should have come here
G
But I don't have a ride home
D
And it's all thanks to you
