​Girl I've Always Been

(Ready?)

(Are you ready?)

(Yeah) (I'm gonna scare you again)

(Don't scare me again)

[Intro] D  G  D

G
A-five, a-six, five, six, seven, eight

D                    G
 Baby doll, you have changed
                            D
That's the thing you always say
                     G
Cursin' me, trash my name
                       D
I rained all over your parade
                                        G
Now you're on my couch, you're fightin' tears
                            D
You say I'm cruel beyond my years
                            G
And as I'm walkin' out that door
                         G     Bm
Say you don't know me anymore

      D
Well, I have captors I call friends
      G
I got panic rooms inside my head
    C
And I get down with crooked men
      D
But I am the girl I've always been
      D
I got wrapped up in the game again
    G
You woke up in an empty bed
      C
And I can't say I'm a perfect ten
    D
But I am the girl I've always been

( D  G  D )

D                                   G
 So don't say that I've been actin' different
                       D
I'm nothin' if I'm not consistent
                             G
You knew everything you'd be gettin'
                          D
I told you right from the beginnin'
                                   G
Now you're on my case, how could I go?
                            D
You never dreamed I'd be so cold
                             G
And then, with venom on your tongue
                        C       Bm
You ask me who I have become

      D
Well, I have captors I call friends
      G
I got panic rooms inside my head
    C
And I get down with crooked men
      D
But I am the girl I've always been
      D
I got wrapped up in the game again
    G
You woke up in an empty bed
      C
And I can't say I'm a perfect ten
      D
But I am the girl I've always been

      D
Yeah, I'm a candle in the wind
     D
I'll turn you out, I'll turn you in
      D
But I am the girl I've always been
