Tom: D G My friend drove me to the party Bm G In her red velvet dress Bm She's always looking at her best G For the tall and pretty boys Bm I'm shaking to the core now A These things get the best of me N.C These goddamn kids can be so mean G Bm Now here comes James with the long brown hair G A sense of bitterness fills the air Bm He sees me standing next to the girls N/C and he shakes his head G Bm So smug he towers over me A I'm scared he's gonna try and cause a scene Bm So I tell him patiently [Chorus] G A It took me a while Bm G To be where I am now D I learned how to fight back Bm G You don't even wanna know how D He then smirks slowly A Bm Em And he pats my back D he says 'the girls want a real boy' Em 'and you're not that' D 'the girls want a real boy' N.C 'and you're not that' Em Now everybody's dancing G And I'm just sitting in the corner D With my vodka orange juice Em I never should have come here G But I don't have a ride home D And it's no offense to you [Verse 2] G Bm Now I don't blame you, James N.C But I can't help the way I am G I didn't sign up for this life Bm but I'm doing the best that I can G Bm And It gets hard sometimes A Boy I've tried to commit suicide N.C multiple times [Chorus] G A It took me a while D G To be where I am now A I learned how to fight back G You don't even wanna know how A Still, I look in the mirror Bm Em And another looks back D she says ' the girls want a real boy' Em D and she said 'the girls want a real boy' [Chorus] Em Now everybody's dancing G And I'm just sitting in the corner D With my vodka orange juice Em I never should have come here G But I don't have a ride home D And it's all thanks to you Em Now everybody's dancing G And I'm just sitting in the corner D With my vodka orange juice Em I never should have come here G But I don't have a ride home D And it's all thanks to you
