This version is in C, like when Mitski plays this song in acoustic sets, but if you want to play with the
recording, transpose +1 so it's in C#. It's originally in Drop D, and I set up this tab so you can see the
Drop D chord diagrams so you can play it like her. However, if you don't feel like changing the tuning,
you can also use regular standard tuning power chords.
 
[Intro]
C5
 
[Verse 1]
C5                    F5                 G5               C5
There's a party and we're all going and we're all growing up
                       F5                      G5             C5
Somebody's driving and he will be drinking and no one's going back
                                F5                  G5             Ab5
'Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full and nothing seems enough
F5                        G5                   Ab5           Bb5
So tonight, tonight, the boys are gonna go for more, more, more
 
 
[Chorus]
    F5                  G5                C5             A5
And I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony
    F5                     G5                    C5
And I want to kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
    F5                       G5                     A5                 D5
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat though I don't know what I'm waiting for
F5                        G5                C5
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
 
 
[Verse 2]
C5                              F5                G5                 C5
Smell that, it's wet grass, and smoke in my hair, I think I've had enough
                           F5                  G5             C5
But he wants a finale and I came prepared and we're not going back
                           F5                    G5                 Ab5
And I've tried sharing and I've tried caring and I've tried putting out
F5                        G5                Ab5          Bb5
But the boys, boys, boys keep coming on for more, more, more
F5                     G5                     Ab5          Bb5
And change, change, change is gonna come, but when, when, when?
 
 
[Chorus]
    F5                  G5                C5             A5
And I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony
    F5                     G5                   C5
And I want to kiss like my heart is chasing me down
    F5                       G5                     A5                     D5
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat though I don't know what I'm waiting for
F5                        G5                C5
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
 
[Solo]
F5 G5 C5 A5
F5 G5 C5
F5 G5 A5 D5
F5 G5 C5
 
[Chorus]
    F5                  G5                C5             A5
And I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony
    F5                     G5                    C5
And I want to kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
    F5                       G5                     A5                     D5
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat though I don't know what I'm waiting for
F5                        G5                C5
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
 
 
[Outro]
F5                        G5               C5
I'm not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
F5                 G5               C5
I wanna be what my body wants me to be
