  Verse 1:
           D#m
When I was younger I wish
                        B
that I would have known better
Better love makes a fat romance
lasts for more than a shoe
          F#
shine I'm bolder took all
                D#m
the words of my mother
                   B
Saying it could be worse
Could be born with that disease
Instead of catching it first

 Pre- Verse:
         F#
So let's go back to the first time
       A#m
That I met you in your Chevy
          B
With your hands stretched and me 
                  C#
crying screaming "mercy mercy"
      F#
But I know that I was put here
         D#m
To fight vikings in the cold war
        B
with my arms out in the front 
         C#
singing "tear me tear me"


 Chorus:
             B
These things take time love
             F#
These things take backbone
            D#m
And they'll tell you 
what you want to hear
They say it gets 
C#
better better
               B
But you better know how 
                 F#
to point out the liars
       D#m
You've got to win 
your wars make sure
You're not fighting 
    C#
for nothing nothing
Are you fighting for 
B              B (hold)
nothing nothing


  Verse 2:
                   D#m
It feels like this world has 
                      B
been growing slowly upside down
Maybe I should move to China
straighten this mess out
                D#m
Maybe I'll be a poet watch 
                   B
all the sky for falling words
Write about my grandma's curtains
Or the lady who
