She gave you C#everythF#ing she hBadE

And in your hot pC#ants anF#d high heBelEs 
They could nAot believe Athat such a bF#ody was for G#real
It seemed like rC#ainbows F#would appBeaEr
Whenever yAou came neAar the clouds would dF#isappeG#ar
Because you lC#ook just F#like a gBirEl
Your baby bluAes would fAlash and suddenly a F#spell was G#cast

[Intro]

C# F# B E

She gave you everything she had

A A F# G#

But she was young and dumb, she just turned 21

C# F# B E

She didn't care to hang around

A A F# G#

So when the shit came down why she was nowhere to be found

C# F# B E

This life can turn a good girl bad

A A F# G#

She was the sweetest thing that you had ever seen

[Verse]

C# F# B E

You're such a delicate boy

A A F# G#

In the hysterical realm

C# F# B E

Of an emotional landslide

A A F# G#

In physical terms

C# F# B E

With your cherry lips and golden curls

A A F# G#

You could make grown men gasp when you go walking past

C# F# B E

And in your hot pants and high heels

A A F# G#

They could not believe that such a body was for real

C# F# B E

It seemed like rainbows would appear

A A F# G#

Whenever you came near the clouds would disappear

C# F# B E

Because you look just like a girl

A A F# G#

Your baby blues would flash and suddenly a spell was cast

[Chorus]

C# F#

You hold a candle in your heart

B A E C#

To shine the light on hidden parts

C# F#

You make the whole world wanna dance

B A E C#

You bought yourself a second chance

C# F# B E

Go baby go go, we're right behind you

A A F# G#

Go baby go go, yeah, we're looking at you

C# F# B E

Go baby go go, oh, we're right behind you

A A F# G#

Go baby go baby, yeah, we're right behind you

[Verse]

C# F# B E

Go baby go baby, oh, we're right behind you }

A A F# G#

Go baby go baby, yeah, we're looking at you } x2

C# F#

You hold a candle in your heart, go baby go go

B A E C#

You shine the light on hidden parts, go baby go go

C# F#

You make the whole world wanna dance, go baby go go

B A E C#

You bought yourself a second chance, go baby go baby go

C# F# B E

Delicate boy (Go baby go baby go)

A A F# G#

In the hysterical realm (Go baby go baby go)

C# F# B E

Of an emotional landslide (Go baby go baby go)

A A F# G#

In physical terms (Go baby go go)

C# F# B E

Go... Yeah, we're looking at you

A A F# G#

Go baby go go, oh, we're right behind you
