Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F#dim][Am]
[F][Dm][Am][D]
[Am]
[F]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
You have [Am]incredible eyes
And all [Dm]the boys would
go wild [G]for [E]you
But I was [Am]scared
In case you made me do those dares
Oh, would you
Oh, [F]would you believe me
That I was [E]your fool?

[Verse 2]
[Dm]'Cause I've been lying
[Am]awake [F]at nig[G]ht
Wondering where you [Dm]are now
[G]And i[Dm]f that met[Am]tle turned out[E] right

[Verse 3]
[Am]"All my life
All my life", she said
"It's not right
Nobody told me [F]I could
do something
Nobody told me I [E]could be [Em]something[E]
[Am]I have tried
I have tried", she said
"It's al[F#dim]right, but
[Am]Nobody told me [F]I could do something
Nobody told me I [Em]could
be something"
[Am]

[Verse 4]
You wore indelible smiles
You were di[Dm]vorced from inside, [G]they [E]said
But I [Am]was disturbed when I heard
that it's not what you preferred
It gets to the [F]point they expect it
And who are [E]you to disappoint
them any[F]way?

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Time will get [Am]you in the e[G]nd
Just when you [Em]shook off [Dm]that regret
Around the corner [Am]comes that [E]memory,

[Verse 6]
in a fur coat, to talk about it
[Am]"All my life
All my life", she said
"It's not right
Nobody told me [F]I could
do something
Nobody told me I [Em]could [E]be
[Em]something[E][Em][E]
[Am]I have tried
I have tried", she said
"It's al[F#dim]right, but
[Am]Nobody told me [F]I could
do something
Nobody told me I [E]could be
[Em]something"

[Verse 7]
[Dm]Many words that have been spoken
[G]cut me out like paper [Dm]dolls
Made me into something different
[G]Something I could not dis[Dm]solve
It's [E]over
Over

[Verse 8]
Don't let their words control you
[Am]"All my life
All my life", she said
"It's not [F#dim]right
Nobody [Am]told me [F]I could
do something
Nobody told me I [Em]could be something
[Am]I have tried
I have tried", she said
"It's alright, but
Nobody told me [F]I could
do something
Nobody told me I [Em]could
be something"
