Missy Higgins - The Wrong Girl

album version of chords ( as noted by ear ) – – there is A
studio version here that doesn’t jive with my brain . . .
and the tabs don’t match . perhaps this will work
better for you , too : ) i also find it useful to corr –
elate the chords directly above the sung syllable ,
where it’s strummed . thanks for reading .

tabbed by : pisceanqueen
( p . s . i’m not very familiar with tab , but i noted them
as i always play them . )

intro : Dm Dm7 Dm Am Am7 Am
Dm Dm7 Dm Am G

Dm Dm7 Am Am7 Am
so the floodgates open but nothing comes out

Dm Dm7 Am G
i’m feeling no relief in my head , just doubt

Dm Dm7 Am Am7 Am
but my heart keeps telling me “hold your ground”

Dm Dm7 F G
you’ll never learn a thing if you bail out now

C G Dm
and i’m lonely again tonight

Am G Dm
i can feel it like a knot in my side

Am G Dm
they keep saying this is part of the ride

Am G
but i’m not getting stronger

C G Dm
yet hold me against the light

Am G Dm
do you see any bullet inside?

Am G Dm
wouldn’t find one if you magnified

Am G
because you’ve got the wrong girl

Dm Dm7 Dm Am Am7 Am

Dm Dm7 Am Am7 Am
got my fingers around the back of your chair

Dm Dm7 Am G
you never miss a thing but you missed me there

Dm Dm7 Am Am7 Am
and i just kept thinking “am i prepared?”

Dm Dm7 Am G
to pull it out from under your trusting stare

F
now the house is quiet as a hollow head

Am
and i’m walking around bumping into things you said

Dm Dm7
this has not been as easy as i thought it would

Am G
i’d be cooling down the fire if i thought i could

C G Dm
and i’m lonely again tonight

Am G Dm
i can feel it like a knot in my side

Am G Dm
they keep saying this is part of the ride

Am G
but i’m not getting stronger

C G Dm
yet hold me against the light

Am G Dm
do you see any bullet inside?

Am G Dm
wouldn’t find one if you magnified

Am G
because you’ve got the wrong girl

Dm Dm7 Am
yeah , you got the wrong girl

Dm F C G
oooooo , ooo , ooo , oo – oo – oo

Dm F C G
oo – oo – oo , ooo , ooo , oo – oo – oo

Dm F C G
ooooo , ooo , ooo , oo – oo – oo

Dm G
oo – oo – oo – ooo , i see you there

Dm Dm7 Am
and the floodgates open , but nothin’ comes out
