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