Miss keep your distance, mmmm

Bm
Miss unafraid
Bm
Miss out of my way
Bm                                A F#m
Miss don't let a man interfere, no

Em
Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
      Bm
Miss never let a man help her off her throne

       Em
So, by keeping her heart protected
She'll never, ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive
Said ooh, she fell in love

Chorus:
Bm                    D
What is this feeling taking over?
  E                   G         A
Thinking no one could open the door
B       D           E       E/G#         A
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real
What happened to miss independent's
no longer need to be defensive?    A
Goodbye, old you, when love, is true

Miss guarded heart
Miss play it smart
Miss if you wanna use that line, you better not start, no
But she miscalculated
She didn't wanna end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love

So, by changing her misconceptions
She went in a new direction
And found inside, she felt a connection
She fell in love

Chorus:
What is this feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open the door (Open the door)
Surprise, it's time (Yeah)
To feel what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No longer need to be defensive
Goodbye (Goodbye), old you (Old you)
When love is true

Bm
When miss independent walked away
G
No time for love that came her way
D
She looked in the mirror and thought today
F#
What happened to miss no longer afraid?
Bm
It took some time for her to see
G
How beautiful love could truly be
D
No more talk of why can't that be me
F#
I'm so glad I've finally seen

Chorus

Miss Independent
