A
Don't wanna be nice
                  E
I don't wanna be nice
A
I don't want your advice
                  E
On the run in my tights

I'm going to get what I want
I don't care who it hurts
Took the lessons that I've learned
Once shy, twice burned

Don't wanna belong
I'm not nodding along
I don't care if you write me
Please don't invite me

D
Hummingbird get what you want
                       E
And flutter off for a little while
A
Light settled on the doorstep
              E
You took the four steps

Chorus:
 D
Mine
Should've been mine
                 E
Had I just said something
             A
If I wasn't polite
              D
Stuck out my hand
Grabbed it and ran
                         E
And you wouldn't have accosted
                       A
All according to the plan

Don't wanna belong
I'm not nodding along
Don't care if I'm wrong, you unfortunate boy
You've gone AWOL

Hummingbird, get what you want
And flutter off to a different flower
Wait up and the light's out
You took that right out

Chorus:
Mine, should have been mine
Had I just said nothing, if I wasn't polite
Stuck out my hand, grabbed it and ran
And your looking took it forward and you're looking to the plan
Woke up in the rain, woke up in a sweat
Now you’re living in a condo and you wanna forget

E
There was a time
         D             A
When someone could've said
     E
You can't recreate
          D              A
All the things that are read

A    D       A
Pomeranian spinster
A      D       A
Glass slipper never fit it
A        D             A
Took a while but I'm trying to get over it

Presbyterian ministers
Travel in packs and never split
They deviate in the tiniest concepts

         F#m E D Bm
La-la-la-la

D
I heard you ask me to smile
Detour right off of the road
E
Don't ever ask me to smile
D
Which dress is she going to wear?
What's to be done with her hair?
E
Don't ever ask me to smile
D
You'll spend the rest of your days
Taking your foot off the brake
E
Foot on the brake foot on the
