         A#
Well you better get home cos your dad is awake
        D#
Said he saw you last nite making out by the lake
        A#
With a guy he hates
                                        F
He doesnt look at me the same way that you do
        A#
Said i look pretty cute but I dont got the grades
          D#                    Adim7
Seen the star on my foot and the way I behave
       A#     F        Cm7    F     A#
We're better off when daddys outta town

Chorus:
F7      D#                  A#
Oh baby you got nothing to prove
       D#                      A#
But if we decide to go doesnt mean he's gotta know
        D#                  A#
Oh baby you got nothing to lose
           F               Cm7    F    A#  A#7
And we're better off when daddys not around.

He doesn't give his consent so now we can't afford
The perfect wedding you want, gotta do it abroad
In a place you adore
So I got us on a plane to Hawaii
Where the weather is nice and where we are alone
None of Daddy's advice followed us here from home
It'll be chilled out when Daddy's not around

Chorus

Dm           Gm
I can't be around him and i've tried
Dm                Gm
I told him that I liked him but I lied
D#                 A# 
Find some way to make him change his mind
           G#             F
What can I do to be with you
