See her picture in a thousand places 'cause she's this year's girl.
D Bm F#m (riff 1)
You think you all own little pieces of this year's girl.
G A G A
Forget your fancy manners, forget your English grammar,
G A Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
'cause you don't really give a damn about this year's girl.
Repeat intro, then the same chords as verse 1.
Still you're hoping that she's well spoken 'cause she's this year's girl.
You want her broken with her mouth wide open 'cause she's this year's girl.
Never knowing (if?) it's a real attraction, all these promises of satisfaction,
while she's being bored to distraction being this year's girl.

Time's running out. She's not happy with the cost.

All this, but no surprises for this year's girl.

All this, but no surprises for this year's girl.
