Tom: C
G
If I had my way
C
every day would be my day
I would ask you out
Em
you would say "okay!"
C
and I'd come get you at 8
G C
8 'o clock right on the dot
Em
'cause sometimes when I am late
C
then I can't get you to talk
G
and it ruins our whole date
[Verse 2]
G C
and if I had my way we'd go out every night
Em C
it'd be perfect every time and we'd never ever fight
G C
you know, you used to call me up when you were high
Em
and I never ever asked you
C
so you never told me why
[Chorus]
G C Em
your hair is green, your hair is pink
C
my head is young
G
my heart can't think
C Em
I drive my car, I ride the bus
C
I stay too long
G
I ask too much
C
Your hair was black
Em
'til it was blue
C
I always had
G
a crush on you
C
you dye it back
Em
when you need to
C G
I'm still deciding what to do
[Verse 3]
G G
but if I had my way,
C
I would ask you to the prom
Em
you would want to meet my mom
C
and you wouldn't even tease me
G
for rhyming words in my songs
C
'cause I wrote those songs about you
Em
but I hope you understand
C
that they were actually about me
G
and I hope that you're not mad
[Verse 4]
G C
cause if I had my way you'd kiss me on the lips
Em
and you'd wear that dress you like
C
and I'd wear the suit that fits
G C
but when you lie to me you know it makes me sick
Em
'cause your phone didn't die,
C
but your soul did. (You witch!)
[Bridge]
G C
'cause I wrote those songs about you
Em
but I hope you understand
C
that they were actually about me
G
and I hope that you're not mad
G C
'cause I wrote those songs about you
Em
And you'd better understand
C
that they were actually about me
G
and I don't care if you're mad
G C
that I wrote those songs about you
Em
and I play them at my shows
C
that I write these songs about you
G
and I make sure that you know
C
that I write these songs about you
Em
that I play these songs about you
C
that I sing these songs about you
G
that I mean these songs about you
C
that I write these songs -
Em
that I write these songs -
that I write these songs;
C
Goddamn, I'll write these songs
G C Em C
[Chorus]
G C Em
Your hair was black 'til it was blue
C
just cut it off if you want to
G C Em C
I couldn't care less what you do
