Strum
D-DU-UDU
So  you show  me round your town,  To Hell  again and back,
 I love  the certain way  you made all the friends  you depend on
 I know  it might seem odd, cos  you're not  the only one
 I remember  myself as a lonely  child so I was,  and you got me wrong,  You got me
Wrong  just seems  so right.  Til the spark  of morning  light.
And  all those searching  eyes,  do they scald  your tender  hide?
 Remember  what they say - there's  no shorcut  to a dream
It's  all blood  and sweat, and life  is what you manage  in between.
But  what you  don't know;  is you're too young  and eager to love.
 Seething  eyes see you're about  to get in to the ditch  that your old man dug
Wrong  just seems  so right.  Til the spark  of morning  light.
And  all those searching  eyes,  do they scald  your tender  hide?
See  the stars  align, and  leave you  behind
you  want it so  and I, I  come by light  of an Autumn moon
sister  you know enough,  but for now  just let it go,
don't  run,  don't rush, just  flow.
Through  the give  and take, you've had  to learn.
 How to cross  the coals and not  get burned.
But  you're really  just a little  girl.
 Playing in the park  til the sun  goes down.
So  twenty-one  arrives, one  day  your time is up
no  doubt  you think you've braided  your own hair,  so you're all grown up.
Should  you want  to cross the line, which  way  do you wanna find?
 Pretending  that love could help  you find your way  but you've got me wrong.
 Yeah you've got me wrong.
 Not 100% sure of some of the lyrics, particularly the chorus and the bridge, apart
 from that, I think it's ok! Hope you enjoy!
