(Non Capo)

(Intro.)
|(G) / / / |(C/G) / / / |(G) / / / |(C/G) / / / |
 
(Verse)
Some (G)don't believe I'm a living soul
Just a (C)bad mistake that needs to go
If my (C)mama coulda just seen my face
Maybe (D)she woulda had me anyway
And (G)there are those who speak for me
Who (C)fight for lives that they can't see
But (C)there are some who only mourn
This (D)life of mine if I were born
 
(Chorus)
All I (G)wanted was a chance
To learn to (Am)love and laugh and dance
Oh but (C)I was gone before (Am)I arrived
Sent (C)back to Heaven on a starlight flight (D)
Yeah I was (Em)gonna (D)change the (C)world
And (C)I was gonna (D)be a girl (G) (C)
 
(Verse)
(G)First thing I was gonna do
Was (C)breathe and fall in love with (G)you
But a (C)couple weeks before I saw the light
Mine (D)flickered out when you changed your mind

(Chorus)
And all I (G)wanted was a chance
To learn to (Am)love and laugh and dance
Oh but (C)I was gone before (Am)I arrived
Sent (C)back to Heaven on a starlight flight (D)
I was (Em)gonna have some (D)pretty curls (C)
(C)I was gonna (D)be a girl (G)

(Outro.)
I'm (G)more than just some one night stand
Or some (G)burden that you think I am
And there (C)ain't no man who's ever gonna be (D)
What (NC)I was gonna be (G) / / / |(G) / / / |
Some (G)don't believe I'm some living soul
Just a (C)bad mistake that needs to go - - - (G) - - - - -
