"PRINCELY GHETTO"
[VERSE 1]
Gm Cm
A lesser girl might have just given up
D(7) Gm
But I stopped listening to my mind
Gm Cm
And still I summon the will to chase you
D(7) Gm
Like you've committed a crime
Gm Cm D(7)
I just want what's mine
Gm Cm
So I watched the sun through the dust off my tires
D(7) Gm
As I sped my way to you
Gm Cm
And I’ve told myself so many damned lies
D(7) Gm
Often times I don't even know what's true
Gm Cm D(7)
Color my baby blue
[CHORUS]
Gm Cm
And the light spilled out around us
Bb D(7)
So I wore it like stiletto
Gm Cm
And you shoulda hid but I gotcha kid
Bb Cm
Ain't this a princely ghetto
[VERSE 2]
Gm Cm
My fingers on your faded blue jeans
D(7) Gm
Where my eyes had already been
Gm Cm
You're not too young, don't be scared, nothing's wrong
D(7) Gm
Did your mama say it's a sin?
Gm Cm D(7)
Just let me in
[CHORUS]
Gm Cm
And the light spilled out around us
Bb D(7)
So I wore it like stiletto
Gm Cm
And you shoulda hid but I gotcha kid
Bb Cm
Ain't this a princely ghetto
[VERSE 1]
reprise
Gm Cm
A lesser girl might have just given up
D(7) Gm
But I stopped listening to my mind
Gm Cm
And still I summon the will to chase you
D(7) Gm
Like you've committed a crime
Gm Cm D(7)
I just want what's mine
[CHORUS]
Gm Cm
And the light spilled out around us
Bb D(7)
So I wore it like stiletto
Gm Cm
And you shoulda hid but I gotcha kid
Bb Cm
Ain't this a princely ghetto
