Title: I'll Be That Girl
Artist: Barenaked Ladies
Album: Stunt
 
 
[Verse 1]
          Em         G
If I were you (and I wish that I were you)
D                        Am7
All the things I'd do to make myself turn blue
     Em                  G
I suppose I'd start by removing all my clothes
D                 Am7            C
Tie my pantyhose around my neck
 
 
[Chorus]
             G        Cadd9     D        G     Cadd9 D
I'll be that girl and you would be right over
     G             Cadd9     D     G      Cadd9 D
If I were a field, you would be in clover
     G             Cadd9     D     G       Cadd9 D
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow
         G          Cadd9      D    Em
And if I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
 
 
[Verse 2]
                G
If you will not have me as myself
   D
Perhaps as someone else
   Am7                                Em
Perhaps as you I'll be worth noticing
            G
Then even a eunuch won't resist
    D               Am7             C
The magic of a kiss from such as me
 
 
[Chorus]
             G        Cadd9     D        G     Cadd9 D
I'll be that girl and you would be right over
     G             Cadd9     D     G      Cadd9 D
If I were a field, you would be in clover
     G             Cadd9     D     G       Cadd9 D
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow
         G          Cadd9      D    G      Cadd9
And if I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
 
 
[Bridge]
     D       Cadd9
It's time to kick off your shoes
D                   G
Learn how to choose sadness
     D       Cadd9
It's time to throw off those chains
D                     G
Addle our brains with madness
      D         Cadd9
Cause we've got plenty of time
   D
To grow old and die
    Cadd9
But when at last your beauty's faded
D                                 Em       G D Am7
You'll be glad that I have waited for you
 
 
[Verse 3]
            Em
When you're done
           G
With being beautiful and young
D                             Am7
When that course is run, then come to me
 
 
[Chorus]
             G        Cadd9     D        G     Cadd9 D
I'll be that girl and you would be right over
     G             Cadd9     D     G      Cadd9 D
If I were a field, you would be in clover
     G             Cadd9     D     G       Cadd9 D
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow
         G          Cadd9      D    G
And if I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow
 
 
[Outro]
Cadd9      D    G
There'd be no tomorrow
Cadd9      D    G
There'd be no tomorrow
Cadd9      D    G
There'd be no tomorrow
Cadd9      D    G
There'd be no tomorrow
