Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

The songs are all about you

And I'm telling everyone I'm doing fine without you

I hurt you but I helped you

You may think I've a lot of nerve but I deserve some credit

Or at least an edit

Take the part that breaks my heart

Makes me sound uncaring

If you eliminate the swearing then I can show my mother

Then you can go from one chord to another

Chorus

G will turn to D, you'll turn to me, and you'll say

You have done me wrong, I wrote these songs about it

She's aware it's all been done before

It's another song in this key

Yeah but this one's about me

That's all the validity she needs

Her criticisms brutal, but I don't really mind

Yeah she's put it out on vinyl

But it's pretty hard to find you'll hear

Chorus

Intro x2

I wish I never taught her how to play

I knew she'd get me, I should have known

Now my hands are on the fretboard

In an unfamiliar way, and it's telling me

She's aware it's all been done before

It's another song in this key

Yeah but this one's about me

I may not want to hear the words to

G will turn to D but if you take you've shown

Learn on your own then everything you do

Belongs to you, but know that you

Are on your own

On your own

Oh on your own

On your own

On your own

On your own

On your own

On your own

Oh on your own
