Well once upon an idea
I love the girls like you 
The sleepless nights and blown out fights 
They were funny too
Eventually the charm
That always would wear off 
The price I paid always outweighed 
Any other costs
(Pre-cho)
Oh but babe I always kinda liked the way you talk
How you give away the gold like it was any other rock
(Chorus)

You know shes Bmjust a little girl
BuDt shes not controlling me
The Bmharder that you swim against it
The Dfurther yoEu end up out at sea
(Chorus)
ANo I Ecan Bmnever gDet enough of these things that are killing me. Hey!
(Outro)
A  D  E

Well once upon an idea

I love the girls like you

The sleepless nights and blown out fights

They were funny too

Eventually the charm

The further you end up out at sea

(Chorus)

No I can never get enough of these things that are killing me. Hey!
