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
