CAPO: 4th Fret 



Intro: D   


I'm a selfish girl 

In a selfish world 
    A                 G       D 
And each town has her selfish ways 
                      G               D 
And each girl has her selfish days 

Especially me 

Longing to be free 
     A              G        D 
From all the old complaining crew 
                     G              Em 
And all the new ones moaning, too 
               A 
Then there was you 
D                       G 
Smiling when I couldn't smile 
              D 
Drawing me to tears 

Feeling out these aches and pains 


                          A 
'Cause nothing here comes easy 
       Em      A  Em    A  
In this stone____ cold____  
Em     A       C      G  
Stone____ cold world

You're a pioneer 

Headed for Newfoundland 
    A                 G        D 
And each land has his newfound joys 
                  G             D 
And pioneers must be big boys 

Especially you 

Longing to be true 
   A                G            D 
To what your people came here to do 
                  G                 Em 
And who your mama said you could be 
               A 
Then there was me 
D                       G 
Crying when I wasn't sad 
                D 
Slouching in my shoes 

Damning expectations 


                          A 
'Cause nothing here comes easy 
       Em      A  Em    A  
In this stone____ cold____  
Em     A       C      G  
Stone____ cold world

                    G         D      A 
I saw the tip of an iceberg explode 
                           G           Em 
But I'm no tourist on this deep blue sea 
         G         A 
Off that hard rock shore 
       Em      A  Em    A  
In this stone____ cold____  
Em     A       C      G  
Stone____ cold world
