[ verse ]
G
you know it really wont surprise me
Bm
if you’re a wreck by the age of fourteen
C
the way you look
G
the way you look is fine
[ verse ]
G
so often colour coordinated
Bm
your sister she’s an eighties fan
C
but that’s alright
G
have i told you so is mine
[ chorus ]
Bm C
you say your life will be the death of you
Bm C
tell me , do you wash your hair in honey dew?
Bm C
and long for all of them to fall in love with you
G
but they never do
[ verse ]
G
drinking vodka on the fly
Bm
your mother has a watchful eye
C
so look out kid
G
she’s onto you this time
[ verse ]
G
run away to a bed and breakfast
Bm
console yourself with the reader’s digest
C G
ringing the yellow pages all alone
[ chorus ]
Bm C
you say your life will be the death of you
Bm C
tell me , do you wash your hair in honey dew?
Bm C
and long for all of them to fall in love with you
G C
but they never do
G D
no they never do
G Bm C G x2
[ chorus ]
Bm C
you say your life will be the death of you
Bm C
tell me , do you wash your hair in honey dew?
Bm C
and long for all of them to fall in love with you
G C
but they never do
G C

G C
i’m gonna tell you something good about yourself
G C
