Tabbed by: adslam3

NOTE: I know I've seen another tab for this on UG, but this is how I've seen
Girls play it. The other one is perfect if you don't have a capo handy
so you should definitely check that one out too.
I've also put a suggested strum pattern at the bottom that also sounds good,
but that's optional.

Tuning: Standard with CAPO on 5 (everything relative to capo)

C Am [x7]
F G

VERSE
C
Oh, little girl they just don't know
Am C
About the weight that you carry in your soul
Am Dm
They just don't know about the fright
G
About the people and the things you like.
C
You know you've got nothing to prove
Am C
The conversations borderline on rude
Am Dm G (stop)
And by the time you've had enough

How do you tell the one you love?

C (to lead to chorus)

CHORUS
F G
He'll never know about the times that you cried in the movies
F G
Never know about the times that you cried to the music
F G
About your mother or your father or the way you got your broken heart

And just a look will be the start

C Am C Am F G

VERSE 2
C
Oh no oh no it's not your style
Am C
Why should you have to feel like you're on trial?
Am Dm
"I wonder if he is impressed.
G
Should I have worn the other dress?"
C
You've never had a doubt about yourself
Am C
Why should you take it, then, from someone else?
Am Dm G (stop)
And if by now he doesn't see,

Maybe it wasn't meant to be

C (to lead to chorus)

CHORUS 2
F G
He'll never know about the times that you cried in the movies
F G
Never know about the times that you cried to the music
F
He'll never know about the feelings that you've had
G
About him from the start

BRIDGE (horn solos)
F G F G F F G G
F G F G F F G G

CHORUS 3
F G
He'll never know about the times that you cried in the bedroom
F G
About the times that you cried in the classroom
F G
About your mother or your father or the way you got your broken heart

And just a look could be the start

ENDING
C Am C Am F G-G-G-G-G-G C

--STRUMMING--
-This is a good way to play the VERSE, sounds great acoustic or with a band.

This is only for the C and Am section of the verse, the rest of the song
sound good with normal strumming

The arrows will show up/down strokes. ^ for down (towards the e string)
And V for up (towards the big E string).
