Tom : A
A D A D A E A
[Verse 1]
A A D A
They say "boys will be boys" while the girls become women,
D A D A
I met one myself who makes me feel like a kid
D A E E E E
in cutoff blue-jeans on his first day out swimming.
[Pre-Chorus]
D D A A
And it feels like I might have a new purpose
A A E E E
but I'm still that little boy who just sits there, nervous.
[Chorus]
A A D A
She says "will you dance with me? I just turned thirteen
D A E A A
in my homemade dress my dad's never seen."
[Interlude]
D A E
Mmm, mmm.
A A
[Verse 2]
A A D A
Well, they turned down the lights, my hands got all sweaty,
D A D A
a slow song came on, it was one that I knew.
D A E E E E
I stared at my shoes and said "I don't think I'm ready."
[Verse 3]
A A D A
And some rich kid comes by, he said she looked pretty,
D A D A
and they walked out to the dance floor and his hand started wand'rin'
D A E E E E
and there was nothing I could do except moan in self pity.
[Pre-Chorus]
D D A A
And it feels like I ought to knock that kid out,
A A E E E
but his monopoly money might be her way out.
[Chorus]
A A D A
She says "will you dance with me? I've just turned thirteen
D A E E E E
in my homemade dress my dad's never seen."
A A D A
Well, I wrote you these letters in my pocket but they're told
D A E A A
because the critic killed the artist before he was born.
[Interlude]
D A E
Mmm, mmm.
A A
[Verse 4]
A A D A
Well, they got through the song but when the music was over
D A D A
she slapped that old rich kid. The coach came to fetch him
D A E E E E
the old homemade dress was pushed back up to her shoulders.
[Verse 5]
A A D A
And she ran for the bathroom and I got up from my chair.
D A D A
I was ten steps behind her, sittin' in the hallway,
D A E E E E
that rich kid back to dancin' while I waited there.
[Pre-Chorus]
D D A A
And it feels like she took the blame
D D E E E E
but she didn't sew for hours to tarnish her name.
[End-Chorus]
A A D A
I said "will you dance with me?" Way past thirteen,
D A E E E E
with my bad reputation and thrift store routine.
A A D A
Well, you can't change the truth or go back in time,
D A E A A
but all hell breaks loose when your heart changes your mind.
D A E A A
All hell breaks loose when your heart changes your mind.
D A E A A
Yeah, all hell breaks loose when your heart changes your mind.
[Outro]
D A E
Mmm, mmm.
A
