F          C         G    Am     G


[Verse 1]

 F
You ain't no shrinking violet are you
        C
And you love to bat your eyelids don't you
G                                 Am     G
You know all the times that I'm ashamed
    F
And all those words you said misspoken
   C
To all those boys who left you broken
G                             Am     G
Ain't no need for placing any blame

             F
'Cause if it wasn't for you crying there
   C
In Ohio just last year
G                                     Am     G
All the love I got would've been in vain
    F
So I'll wake up for work
          C
And tug a little on your shirt
Continues after the ad
         G                                      Am     G
Hope you know the depths I'd go would be insane


[Chorus]
      F                       C
For a girl like you who needs trust but needs freedom
    G                                   Am       G
Who wants love but would be fine on her own
   F                          C
For a girl like you with your Daddy's mannerisms
      G                                  Am       G
And a soft smile makes the distance less alone
  F                       C               G
In a world that's full of wanting what is next
Am                  G
I'll stay here with you Elisabeth


F     C     G    Am

F     C     G    Am

[Verse 2]
F
You are here at just the right time
C
At twenty-three years it's felt a lifetime
   G                                             Am     G
My Momma she must trust you through and through
           F              C      G
'Cause she left me with a girl like you

[Chorus]
   F                          C
For a girl like you who needs trust but needs freedom
    G                                   Am       G
Who wants love but would be fine on her own
   F                          C
For a girl like you with your Daddy's mannerisms
      G                                  Am       G
And a soft smile makes the distance less alone
  F                       C               G
In a world that's full of wanting what is next
Am                  G
I'll stay here with you Elisabeth


F     C     G    Am

F     C     G    Am

    F
You ain't no shrinking violet are you
        C
And you love to bat your eyelids don't you
G                                 Am
You know all the times that I'm ashamed
