[C] [Am] [Am] [F] [C] [Am] [Am] [F]
I [C]found a [Am]guy, told [Am]me I was [F]a star
He [C]held the [Am]door, held [Am]my hand in [F]the dark
And he’s [Am]perfect on paper, but he’s [F]lying to my face
Does he [Am]think that I’m the kinda girl who [F]needs to be saved


[C] [Am] [Am] [F]
And there’s [C]one more [Am]boy, he’s [Am]from [F]my past
We [C]fell in [Am]love, but it [Am]didn’t [F]last
‘Cause the [A]second I figure it out, he [F]pushes me away
And [A]I won’t fight for [C]love if you won’t [F]meet me halfway
‘Cause [G]I say that I’m through but this song’s still for you


[F]All I [G]want is love that [Am]lasts, is all I want too much to [F]ask?
Is it some[G]thing wrong with [Am]me? [F]All I [G]want is a good [Am]guy
Are my expectations far too [F]high? Try my [G]best but what can I [C]say?
All I [G]have is [Am]myself at the end of the [F]day
[G]Shouldn’t that be enough for [C]me? [G] [Am] [F] [C]Ooh, ooh, [Dm]ooh, ooh, [F]ooh


Now I [C]miss the [Am]days where I was [Am]young and [F]naive
I thought the [C]perfect [Am]guy would come and [Am]find [F]me
Now [G]happy every after, it don’t come so easily, [A]yeah


[G]All I [A]want is love that [Bm]lasts, is all I want too much to [G]ask?
Is it some[A]thing wrong with [Bm]me? [G]All I [A]want is a good [Bm]guy
Are my expectations far too [G]high? Try my [A]best but what can I [D]say?
All I have is [Bm]myself at the end of the [G]day
And [A]all I want is for that to be [D]okay, [G] [D]ooh, ooh, [Bm]ooh, ooh, [G]ooh
