The Wrong Girl Chords & Lyrics by Missy Higgins
The Wrong Girl
guitar chords lyrics
Album version of chords (as noted by ear)--there is a
studio version here that doesn't jive with my brain...
and the tabs don't match. Perhaps this will work
better for you, too :) I also find it useful to corr-
elate the chords directly above the sung syllable,
where it's strummed. Thanks for reading.

(p.s. I'm not very familiar with tab, but I noted them
as I always play them.)

Intro: Dm Dm7 Dm Am Am7 Am
Dm Dm7 Dm Am G
Dm Dm7 Am Am7 Am
So the floodgates open but nothing comes out
Dm Dm7 Am G
I'm feeling no relief in my head, just doubt
Dm Dm7 Am Am7 Am
But my heart keeps telling me "hold your ground"
Dm Dm7 F G
You'll never learn a thing if you bail out now
C G Dm
And I'm lonely again tonight
Am G Dm
I can feel it like a knot in my side
Am G Dm
They keep saying this is part of the ride
Am G
But I'm not getting stronger
C G Dm
Yet hold me against the light
Am G Dm
Do you see any bullet inside?
Am G Dm
Wouldn't find one if you magnified
Am G
Because you've got the wrong girl
Dm Dm7 Dm Am Am7 Am
Dm Dm7 Am Am7 Am
Got my fingers around the back of your chair
Dm Dm7 Am G
You never miss a thing but you missed me there
Dm Dm7 Am Am7 Am
And I just kept thinking "Am I prepared?"
Dm Dm7 Am G
To pull it out from under your trusting stare
F
Now the house is quiet as a hollow head
Am
And I'm walking around bumping into things you said
Dm Dm7
This has not been as easy as I thought it would
Am G
I'd be cooling down the fire if I thought I could
C G Dm
And I'm lonely again tonight
Am G Dm
I can feel it like a knot in my side
Am G Dm
They keep saying this is part of the ride
Am G
But I'm not getting stronger
C G Dm
Yet hold me against the light
Am G Dm
Do you see any bullet inside?
Am G Dm
Wouldn't find one if you magnified
Am G
Because you've got the wrong girl
Dm Dm7 Am
Yeah, you got the wrong girl
Dm F C G
Oooooo, ooo, ooo, oo-oo-oo
Dm F C G
Oo-oo-oo, ooo, ooo, oo-oo-oo
Dm F C G
Ooooo, ooo, ooo, oo-oo-oo
Dm G
Oo-oo-oo-ooo, I see you there
Dm Dm7 Am
And the floodgates open, but nothin' comes out
