C#                   F#
There's a party and we're all going
G#m                   C#
And we're all growing up
C#                     F#
Somebody's driving and he will be drinking
G#m                 C#
And no one's going back
C#                           F#
Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full and
G#              B
Nothing seems enough
F#m
So tonight, tonight
G#
The boys are gonna go for
A
More more more

Chorus:
    F#                  G#
And I want a love that falls as fast
C#                  A#m
As a body from the balcony, and
F#                  G#                       C#   G#
I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
F#                            G#
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
         A#m                 D#
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
     F#                    G#                C#
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

Smell that, it's wet grass, and smoke in my hair
I think I've had enough
But he wants a finale and I came prepared
And we're not going back
And I've tried sharing and I've tried caring
And I've tried putting out
But the boys, boys, boys keep coming on
For more, more, more
And change, change, change is gonna come, but
When, when, when?

Chorus:
And I want a love that falls as fast
As a body from the balcony, and
I want to kiss like my heart is chasing me down
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

And I want a love that falls as fast
As a body from the balcony, and
I want to kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

I'm not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
I wanna be what my body wants me to be
