C F
There's a party and we're all going

Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full and

Nothing seems enough

And I want a love that falls as fast
C Am
As a body from the balcony, and

I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
F G
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Am D
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
F G C
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
[Verse]
C F
Smell that, it's wet grass, and smoke in my hair
Gm C
I think I've had enough
C F
But he wants a finale and I came prepared
Gm C
And we're not going back
C F
And I've tried sharing and I've tried caring
G Ab
And I've tried putting out
Fm G
But the boys boys boys keep coming on for

And change change change is gonna come, but

When when when?
[Chorus]

And I want a love that falls as fast

I want a kiss like my heart is chasing me down

I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat

Though I don't know what I'm waiting for

I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
[Solo]
F G
And I want a love that falls as fast
C Am
As a body from the balcony, and

I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground

I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat

version 3
Tuning: D A D G B E
Key: C
This version is in C, like when Mitski plays this song in acoustic sets, but if you want to play with the
recording, transpose +1 so it's in C#. It's originally in Drop D, and I set up this tab so you can see the
Drop D chord diagrams so you can play it like her. However, if you don't feel like changing the tuning,
you can also use regular standard tuning power chords.

There's a party and we're all going
And we're all growing up
Somebody's driving and he will be drinking
And no one's going back
'Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full and
Nothing seems enough
So tonight, tonight
The boys are gonna go for
More more more
And I want a love that falls as fast
As a body from the balcony, and
I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
Smell that, it's wet grass, and smoke in my hair
I think I've had enough
But he wants a finale and I came prepared
And we're not going back
And I've tried sharing and I've tried caring
And I've tried putting out
But the boys boys boys keep coming on for
More more more
And change change change is gonna come, but
When when when?
And I want a love that falls as fast
As a body from the balcony, and
I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
And I want a love that falls as fast
As a body from the balcony, and
I want a kiss like my heart is hitting the ground
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
