There is no way I’m looking for a boyfriend
E              F#                    B 
There is no way I’m looking for a scene
D#           G#m
I need to save some dough
F#               B
I’m a working girl you know
E                             F#   
I’ll fend attention off, I keep to myself

B                                      G#m
I love my room, I’m getting used to sleeping
E                F#                 B
Some nights I really like to lie awake
D#            G#m
I hear the midnight birds
F#             B
The message in their words
E                           F#
The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch 
Their promise never meant so much to me

B                                        G#m
You have been warned, I’m known to be contrary
B                                            G#m
Backward at school, I wrote from right to left

Preacher said a prayer for me
E                                       F#  
God help the girl. She needs all the help she can get

B                                       G#m 
I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call
E               F#                      B
I’ll eat the chocolate hidden in the fridge
D#               G#m
I’ll play his messages
F#             B
Analyze his intonation
E                              F#
Please stop me there, I’m even boring myself

B                                    G#m
I think of him when I’m doing the dishes
E             F#                       B 
I think of him while looking in the sink
D#                G#m
This ain’t no play on words
F#             B
My love for him’s absurd
E                        F#
If he gave me a sign I’d think about it for a week 
I’d build it up and then I’d turn him down

B                                        G#m
