Intro
A#m F# C# G#
[Verse 1]
A#m
Fight after fight
F#
Break after break
Night after night
C#
Lying awake
G#
I can't find rest
A#m
Watching you walk
F#
Watching you laugh
Watching you talk
C#
It cuts me in half
G#
'Cause no matter how I dress
A#m F# A#m F#
I can't be enough
A#m F# G#
I was never enough
[Chorus]
F#
'Cause you like the bad boys
With the long black hair
C#
With their crooked smile
And their death trap stare
G# A#m
And I, no, I'll never compare
F#
'Cause we were through before we could start
C#
'Cause he was tattoed on the back of your heart
G#
But when he's busy
A#m
Breaking it apart
F# G#
Know that I will always be
A#m
the one to save it
F# G#
Know that I will alway be
A#m
Your mother's favorite
[Instrumental]
A#m F# A#m F# A#m F# G#
[Verse 2]
A#m
Week after week
F#
Mile after mile
Unable to speak
C#
Unable to smile
G#
I've made it through
A#m
Word after word
F#
Day after day
What I've never heard
C#
Unable to say
G#
To someone new
A#m F# A#m F#
I love you
A#m F# G#
I loved you
[Chorus]
F#
But you like the bad boys
With the long black hair
C#
With their crooked smile
And their death trap stare
G# A#m
And I, no, I'll never compare
F#
'Cause we were through before we could start
C#
'Cause he was tattoed on the back of your heart
G#
But when he's busy
A#m
Breaking it apart
F# G#
Know that I will always be
A#m
Your mother's favorite
[Bridge]
F# C#
Stop, stop, stop breaking me down
G#
Stop, stop, stop turning me round
A#m
Stop, stop, stop this war
F# C#
I,I, I've learned how to fall
G#
For, for, for the person who calls me
A#m
All they were looking for
[Chorus]
F#
But you like the bad boys
With the long black hair
C#
With their crooked smile
And their death trap stare
G# A#m
And I, no, I'll never compare
F#
And that's when she came
Like a brand new start
C#
Now, she's the new name on the back of my heart
G#
And when you're busy
A#m
Getting torn apart
F# G#
Know that I won't ever be
A#m
The one to save it
F# G#
Know that I will always be
A#m F# A#m F#
Her mother's favourite
A#m F# G#
Her mother's favourite
A#m
Her mother's favourite
