New Romantic

Capo:
II
G
/f#
I know I said I love you but I'm thinking I was wrong
Bm
Em
I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young
Am
D
And I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs
G
/f#
That guy that I could never get, oh his girlfriend was pretty fit
Bm
Em
And everyone who knew her loved her so
Am
D
And I made you leave her for me and now I'm feeling pretty mean
Bm
Em
A
D
But my mind has fucked me over more times than any man could ever know
Em
Am
Maybe I should give up giving
D
G
Give up trying to be thin
Em
Am
Give up and turn into my mother
D
G
God knows I love her
G
Bm
Am
D
And I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state
G
Bm
Am
D
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait and be aware
G
Bm
I will never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand-in-hand
Am
D
And I can't do it, again
So we stayed up late one night to try and get our problems right But I couldn't get into his head just what was going through my mind Think he knew where I was going, he put Ryan Adams on I think he thinks it makes me weak, but it only ever makes me strong I've got this friend who sounds just like him And he's the man I'd leave you for, the man that I just adore, like you The same man, he turns to me, he said "I've got to tell you how I feel" "If God could make a perfect girl, for me it would be you" "And my God told me not to tell about how much do you love your fella?" I don't know more every day Not in this new romantic way I'll always be your first love You'll always be my first love But I'm sorry to whichever man should meet my sorry state Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait and beware I will never love a man cause love and pain go hand-in-hand And I can't do it, again I will never love a man 'cause I could never hurt a man Not in this new romantic way
