Chorus:
Cm         G#
I am good, I am grounded
D#               A# 
Davey says that I look taller
    Cm             G#
But I can't get my head around it
D#               A# 
I keep feeling smaller and smaller
Cm G#     D#     A#
I   need my girl
Cm G#     D#     A#
I   need my girl

Remember when you lost your shit and
Drove the car into the garden?
You got out and said "I'm sorry"
To the vines and no one saw it
I need my girl
I need my girl

              Cm       G#
I'm under the gun again
   D#           A#    Cm       G#
I know I was a 45-percenter then
   D#            A# 
I know I was a lot of things

But I am good, I am grounded
Davy says that I look taller
But I can't get my head around it
I keep feeling smaller and smaller
I need my girl
I need my girl

There's some things that I should never
Laugh about in front of family
I tried to call you from the party
It's full of punks and cannonballers
I need my girl
I need my girl

I'm under the gun again
I know I was a 45-percenter then
I know I was a lot of things

Chorus:
But I am good, and I am grounded
Davy says that I look taller
But I can't get my head around it
I keep feeling smaller and smaller

D#               A#              Cm G#
I keep feeling smaller and smaller
D#               A# 
I keep feeling smaller and smaller
