C                             G      Dm
Never have I ever been someone who's had it all
       F
Like, not at all, yeah
     C                               G
And, on occasion, I can think too much
        Dm                   F
I get uncomfortable, hide behind my walls
    C          G               Dm                 F
And I talk in circles, but at least I say what I mean
    C          G            Dm          F
And I rock my heart on the sleeve of my T-shirt

   C      G           Dm
So if I should die tomorrow
              F
I'll die with all of me, all of me
    C     G                            Dm
And if I give back the time that I've borrowed
                 F
I'll know I gave everything, everything

Chorus:
     C              G
And no, you won't, no, you won't
    Dm      F
Forget, forget me, no
 C              G
No, you won't, no, you won't
    Dm      F                     C G
Forget, forget this girl next door

    Dm        F
No, no, no, no

Never have I ever met someone who worries like I do
That's nothing new, yeah
And I don't really like to get dressed up
What's it to you? I know what I can do
And I'm not Bowie, Prince or Queen
But at least I do what I dream
And I rock my soul on both sleeves of my T-shirt

Chorus

Dm                 F
And I may not be a genius
C                          G
I'm just a girl with some reasons to stay Plain Jane
Dm                       F
But I won't go 'til you hear me
C                    G
I'll be sure not to leave 'fore you know my name

Chorus:
So if I should die tomorrow
I'll die with all of me, all of me
And if I give back the time that I've borrowed
I'll know I gave everything, yeah
No, you won't (You won't)
No, you won't (You won't)
Forget (Forget), forget me no
No, you won't (You won't)
No, you won't (You won't)
Forget, forget this girl next door
