Standard Tuning.
[Chorus]
EThere she was standing in a F#Champion Jumper
All the F#sus2boys lined up to get her G#mmade up number
ENo one ever knew if they would sF#ee
Her again but they trG#mied, tF#hey tG#mried
ETired of the red men she would crF#oss the street
And turn her F#sus2back on every green man lying G#mat her feet
EMaking plans or breaking plans or F#not G#mHeartshotF#  G#m  
[Interlude]
E F# F#sus2 G#m
E F# F#sus2 G#m
[Verse]
EDr. Martens and a woF#rn out smile and her eyF#sus2eliner ain't what it G#mwas
EShe talks about getting F#out of this city
And make F#sus2up for the time that she's G#mlost
EOn the highway to rF#emedy where the F#sus2exits are all out of bG#mounds
EShe takes a sip from her F#Costa as she F#sus2sighs, another G#mtime
[Pre-Chorus]
There's just Etoo much at uni right G#mnow
There's just Etoo much that ties me G#mdown
There's never Eever gonna be enough G#mmoney to bring me rF#ound
[Verse 2]
EShe's in a band and she's F#playing cool
Cause F#sus2she is stylish with good G#metiquette
A Eboyfriend would be way toF#o much o
of a F#sus2hassle for one young bG#mrunette
ERock n roll is not the samF#e as
what her F#sus2dad says that it used tG#mo be
EAnd once the radio sF#tarts to play that F#sus2Hollywood pop she will G#mleave
[Pre-Chorus]
There's just Etoo much at uni right G#mnow
There's just Etoo much that ties me G#mdown
There's never Eever gonna be enough G#mmoney to bring me rF#ound
