Selection chords: Katie Paterson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

E B C#m A
