Biography:
Here is my bio. I’m Shelly and I’m from Mississippi. I grew up in a town called Clinton, about five miles west of Jackson, Mississippi, but I live in Nashville at the moment. I sing. I write songs. I record the songs that I write, and sometimes songs that I don’t write. I’ve loved music since I can remember loving anything. I’ve been influenced by everyone from…Madonna to Dolly Parton, Joni Mitchell to Janis Joplin, Elton John to Elvis, aerosmith to Lauren Hill, Stevie Wonder to Patti Griffin.

[Intro]
C G D C G D
[Verse 1]
C G
It was somethin' as simple
D
As makin' the bed
C G
That kicked off the voice
C G
Inside her head
G
She was smoothin' the sheet
G
With the palm of her hand
D
When the thought struck home
Em F C C
"I don't know who I am"
[Verse 2]
C G
And she sat cross-legged
D
On the bedroom floor
And thought
C G
"There's 3 people in this house
F C
That don't need me anymore."
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
And she cried like a baby
D
In a pile of dirty clothes
[Chorus]
Em B
Oh, should I be more care free
G F#m
Should I be more sexy
C Em B
Should I be more friend, than mom
Em B
And the dryer was buzzin'
G F#m
And the TV was blarin'
Am/C G
And she wanted to call, her mother
[Verse 2]
C G
It was somethin' as simple
D C G
As checkin' in to that cheap motel
F C
Out on Highway 10
Em D
Was it the sting of leavin'
C G
Or usin' her maiden name
Am Em
That took all of the fun
Am F
Out of runnin' away
[Pre-Chorus]

And she cried like a baby

In the tub of room 5

Should I be more sexy
