The chords in parenthesis are relative to a capo at the 4th fret.
I did this quickly on request; let me know if I've made any mistakes.
Note: the recording appears on the sharp side--A=444ish.
So, unless you tune accordingly, you’ll sound a little off-pitch.
[Intro]
B(G) G#m(Em) B(G) G#m(Em)
[Verse 1]
B(G) G#m(Em)
There is no way I’m looking for a boyfriend
E(C) F#(D) B(G)
There is no way I’m looking for a scene
D#(B) G#m(Em)
I need to save some dough
F#(D) B(G)
I’m a working girl you know
E(C) F#(D)
I’ll fend attention off I keep to myself
[Verse 2]
B(G) G#m(Em)
I love my room I’m getting used to sleeping
E(C) F#(D) B(G)
Some nights I really like to lie awake
D#(B) G#m(Em)
I hear the midnight birds
F#(D) B(G)
The message in their words
E(C) F#(D)
The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch
that promise never meant so much to me
[Chorus]
B(G) G#m(Em)
You have been warned. I’m known to be contrary
B(G) G#m(Em)
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
E(C) F#(D)
Teacher never cared for me
B(G) G#(E)
Preacher said a prayer for me
E(C) F#(D)
God help the girl. She needs all the help she can get
[Verse 3]
B(G) G#m(Em)
I see for hours just waiting for his phone call
E(C) F#(D) B(G)
I’ll eat the chocolate hidden in the fridge
D#(B) G#m(Em)
I’ll play his messages
F#(D) B(G)
Analyze his intonation
E(C) F#(D)
Please stop me there I’m even boring myself
[Verse 4]
B(G) G#m(Em)
I think of him when I’m doing the dishes
E(C) F#(D) B(G)
I think of him while looking in the sink
D#(B) G#m(Em)
This ain’t no play on words
F#(D) B(G)
My love for him’s absurd
E(C) F#(D)
If he gave me a sign I’d think about for a week
I’d build it up and then I’d tell him: no.
[Chorus]
B(G) G#m(Em)
You have been warned. I’m known to be contrary
B(G) G#m(Em)
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left
E(C) F#(D)
Teacher never cared for me
B(G) G#(E)
Preacher said a prayer for me
E(C) F#(D)
God help the girl. She needs all the help she can get
[Outro]
B(G) G#m(Em) B(G) G#m(Em) repeat
