C I can't believe that I am writing this down and C I can't believe that I've got you in a song Dm I don't want to be a whining girl C Rather not be anyone

CDm I stole a magazine from the laundry mat C The posters in the back Dm they were breaking my back EmDm And all I wanted was a bench to rest my weary legs EmDm My silent heart agrees I have done my best
CDm I'll get my operation on the N. H. S CDm But will it cure my blushes will it bring out my past EmDm 'Cause someone said I was a woman pretending to be a girl EmDm And I will make no comments lest I hide myself
CDm CDm EmDm EmGC
C This can't go on Dm And when is it going to stop EmDmC You casually walk back to your room tonight C Take the flight of stairs Dm Softly dim the light EmGC Fantasies about how happy you'd be with a girl tonight
