I borrow my mother's clutch
Dm

Now that I'm all grown up
But expectation at night Will be the death of me In a dress to kill and a glass to fill I wasn't ready, but I didn't fight

C
I don't want to feel this way
Looking back, it was such a dumb idea Five girls in the same-coloured dress Book a honeymoon and find yourself thinking My life is a perfect mess 'Cause when you're far from the phone And start feeling at home where I am Thinking the grass would be greener, at last If I were on my own

Going To Hell

Capo:
I
Am
Get out a map, carve out a path
F
Highlight it in fluorescent yellow
Am
From the mountain pass to the prairie grass
F
Anywhere you go, I will follow
G
Am
And if we don't speak after you leave
F
I will look to the sky for smoke signals
G
Am
If I fall behind, could you leave me a sign
F
Breadcrumbs in the shape of an arrow
Am
See I'm going to hell
G
In a basket I made
F
Woven from the letters
G
And it spells your name
When the weather breaks we can sail the great lakes I'll make a white flag from your pillow Plug the holes of your leaky boat Use your T-shirt for material See I'm going to hell In a basket I made Woven from the letters And it spells your name I'm going to hell I'm going to hell I'm going to hell I will let go When your leaky boat reaches the shore I will let you know When the map says there ain't anymore See I'm going to hell In a basket I made Woven from the letters And it spells your name I'm going to hell I'm going to hell I'm going to hell I will see you there I will see you there I will see you there
