            C
I'm used to opening my own
doors and splitting the checks
The introduced me
                    F
was always just a friend
I bought a new dress
            C
he never noticed
        C
Always falling for these
bad boys such a challenge
I’m getting tired of
                    F
cleaning up after them
I think I’m ready
           C
to be a woman

Chorus:
    G
Oh love
             F
I think I’m ready
          C
ready for it

You were such a surprise
An unexpected gift
Said I was pretty, and I believed it
Not really used to all this attention
Told myself I don't deserve you
And this is just a phase
Could I get used to, being loved the right way?
I want to argue, but there is nothing to say

Chorus:
    G
Oh love
             F
I think I’m ready
          C
ready for it
ready for it
    G
Oh love I
           F
think I’m ready

       F
Cause you send me flowers
when there’s no occasion
     Am
Yeah we talk for hours
you still want to listen
      Dm
Won’t hold it against me if I
                 G#         C
just need you to hold me tonight

    C
My mother always told
me that you’d show up one day
(So scared) to feel this way

Chorus:
     G
But love
             F
I think I’m ready
          C
ready for it
ready for it
    G
Oh love I
           F
think I’m ready
    G
Oh love I
           F
think I’m ready
