[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
You can't pin me down,
    Dmaj7#5
 I fear all solid ground
    Gmaj7      Gmmaj7
I'd rather be alone at tea,
    Em7              A7
 love when nobody's makin' me
    Dmaj7
Oh, boys just make me cry,
   Dmaj7#5
believe me, I have tried
     Gmaj7
I've made my rounds,
  Gmmaj7
kissed some mouths
      Em7
Trust me, I don't want
           A7
 a single soul around

[Chorus]
        Dmaj7
Oh, I'm giving up,
I'm throwing in my hat
 Dmaj7#5
I   can't take another
lifeless little chat
   D6
I'm  moving up into a cloud,
        B7
 into my  fantasy
    Gmaj7
And no boy's gonna
 Gmmaj7
 be so smart as to
F#m7              B7
Try and pierce my porcelain heart
Em9                 A13b5
No boy's going to kill the
            Dmaj7 Bm7 Em7 A7
 dreamer in me
Dmaj7 Bm7 Em7 A7

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
Some might call me mad,
      Dmaj7#5
 the worst this town has had
  Gmaj7
I fell right down
     Gmmaj7
the rabbit hole
Em7
Legends say I fell so
         A7
fast I lost my soul
       Dmaj7
Oh, my melancholic days
     Dmaj7#5
 are few and far away
     Gmaj7       Gmmaj7
I've had enough, called it off
   Em7
As far as I'm concerned,
        A7
this witch is numb to love, oh

[Chorus]
        Dmaj7
Oh, I'm giving up,
 I'm throwing in my hat
 Dmaj7#5
I   can't take another
 lifeless little chat
   D6
I'm  moving up into a cloud,
