Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Verse:
F
 I forget how the West was won
C
 I forget if this was ever fun
Dm                               A#
 I just learned these people only raise you to cage you
F                                                                         F
 Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best
C
 Clutching their pearls, sighing "what a mess"
Dm                                  A#
 I just learned these people try and save you ʼcause they hate you

Pre-chorus:
 F          A#                  F             C
 Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it
 F                A#                F
 They slammed the door on my whole world
                 C
 The one thing I wanted

Chorus:
     F
 And Iʼm running with my dress unbuttoned
A#
 Screaming, "But Daddy, I love him
 C
 Iʼm having his baby
        A#
 No Iʼm not but you should see your faces"
 F
 Iʼm telling him to floor it through the fences
A#
 No, Iʼm not coming to my senses
 C                               A#
 I know heʼs crazy, but heʼs the one I want

Verse:
F
 Dutiful daughter, all my plans were laid
C
 Tendrils tucked into a woven braid
Dm
 Growing up precocious sometimes means
A#
 Not growing up at all
F
 He was chaos, he was revelry
C
 Bedroom eyes like a remedy
Dm                                  A#
 Soon enough, the elders had convened down at the city hall

Pre-chorus:
F                A#             F               C
 "Stay away from her," the saboteurs protested too much
F               A#              F
 Lord knows the words we never heard
                           C
 Just screeching tires and true love

Chorus:
     F
 And Iʼm running with my dress unbuttoned
A#
 Screaming, "But Daddy, I love him
 C
 Iʼm having his baby
        A#
 No Iʼm not but you should see your faces"
 F
 Iʼm telling him to floor it through the fences
A#
 No, Iʼm not coming to my senses
 C                               A#
 I know heʼs crazy, but heʼs the one I want

Bridge:
F                        C
 Iʼll tell you something right now
                          Dm
 Iʼd rather burn my whole life down
                         A#
 Than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning
 F                                C
 Iʼll tell you something about my good name
                    Dm
 Itʼs mine alone to disgrace
                           A#
 I donʼt care to all these vipers dressed in emperorʼs clothing
 Dm                    A#
 God save the most judgemental creeps
                          C
 Who say they want whatʼs best for me
                                                   Dm
 Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies Iʼll never see
                 A#
 Thinking it can change the beat
                     C
 Of my heart when he touches me and counteract the chemistry
              F     C
 And undo the destiny
                 Dm
 You ainʼt gotta pray for me
         A#
 Heʼs my wild boy and Iʼm his wild joy
F C                    Dm
    If all you want is grey for me
                A#
 Then itʼs just white noise, this is my choice

Pre-chorus:
F
 Thereʼs a lot of people in town that I
C
 Bestow upon my fakest smiles
Dm                                          A#
 Scandal does funny things to pry but brings lovers closer
F
 We came back when the heat died down
C
 Went to my parents and they came around
Dm
 All the wine moms are still holding out
     A#
 But fuck ʼem, itʼs over

Chorus:
     F
 And Iʼm dancing in my dress in the sun
A#
 And even my daddy just loves him
 C
 Iʼm his lady
     A#
 And oh my god you should see your faces
 F
 Time, doesnʼt it give some perspective?
A#
 I know you canʼt come to the wedding
 C                               A#
 I know heʼs crazy, but heʼs the one I want

Outro:
F                        C
 Iʼll tell you something right now
                 Dm
 You ainʼt gotta pray for me
         A#
 Heʼs my wild boy, and Iʼm his wild joy
  F                          C
 (He was chaos, he was revelry)
                    Dm
 If all you want is grey for me
              A#
 Thattʼs just white noise, itʼs my choice
F C                                Dm
    Screaming, "But Daddy, I love him
                A#
 Iʼm having his baby
        F       C                   Dm
 No Iʼm not but you should see your faces"
     A#
 But oh my god you should see your faces

F C Dm A#
