Intro
Am F C G
[Verse 1]
Am
Fight after fight
F
Break after break
Night after night
C
Lying awake
G
I can't find rest
Am
Watching you walk
F
Watching you laugh
Watching you talk
C
It cuts me in half
G
'Cause no matter how I dress
Am F Am F
I can't be enough
Am 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 Am
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
Am
Breaking it apart
F G
Know that I will always be
Am
the one to save it
F G
Know that I will alway be
Am
Your mother's favorite
[Instrumental]
Am F Am F Am F G
[Verse 2]
Am
Week after week
F
Mile after mile
Unable to speak
C
Unable to smile
G
I've made it through
Am
Word after word
F
Day after day
What I've never heard
C
Unable to say
G
To someone new
Am F Am F
I love you
Am 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 Am
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
Am
Breaking it apart
F G
Know that I will always be
Am
Your mother's favorite
[Bridge]
F C
Stop, stop, stop breaking me down
G
Stop, stop, stop turning me round
Am
Stop, stop, stop this war
F C
I,I, I've learned how to fall
G
For, for, for the person who calls me
Am
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 Am
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
Am
Getting torn apart
F G
Know that I won't ever be
Am
The one to save it
F G
Know that I will always be
Am F Am F
Her mother's favourite
Am F G
Her mother's favourite
Am
Her mother's favourite
