[Intro]
Em
 
[Verse 1]
Em               D
I am nothing without pretend
     Am7
I know my thoughts
       C
Can't live with them
Em                 D
  I am nothing without a man
     Am7
I know my faults
     C
But I can't hide them
 
[Interlude]
Em D Am7 C
 
[Verse 2]
Em                D
  I still keep my baby teeth
       Am7               C
In the bedside table with my jewelry
Em                       D
  You still sleep in the bed with me,
    Am7             C
My jewelry, and my baby teeth
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can't kiss my own neck
 
[Interlude]
Em D Am7 C
 
[Verse 4]
I wanted to give you everything
but I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did
