 A#
You ain't no shrinking violet are you
         F
And you love to bat your eyelids don't you
C                                 Dm   C
You know all the times that I'm ashamed
    A#
And all those words you said misspoken
   F
To all those boys who left you broken
C                             Dm    C
Ain't no need for placing any blame

'Cause if it wasn't for you cryin' there
In Ohio just last year
All the love I got would've been in vain
So I'll wake up for work
And tug a little on your shirt
Hope you know the depths I'd go would be insane

Chorus:
       A#                       F
For a girl like you who needs trust but needs freedom
     C                                  Dm C
Who wants love but would be fine on her own
   A#                          F
For a girl like you with your Daddy's mannerisms
       C                                  Dm  C
And a soft smile makes the distance less alone
   A#                      F               C
In a world that's full of wanting what is next
Dm                   C
I'll stay here with you Elisabeth

A#
You are here at just the right time
F
At twenty-three years it's felt a lifetime
    C                                          Dm C
My Momma she must trust you through and through
           A#              F         C
'Cause she left me with a girl like you

Chorus:
For a girl like you who needs trust but needs freedom
Who wants love but would be fine on her own
For a girl like you with her daddy's mannerisms
And a soft smile makes the distance less alone
In a world that's full of wanting what is next
I'll stay here with you, Elisabeth

You ain't no shrinkin' violet, are you?
And you love to bat your eyelids, don't you?
You know all the times that I'm ashamed
