The Oh So Protective One by Girls
The Oh So Protective One
F Dm
Oh little girl they just don't know
F Dm
About the weight you carry in your soul
Bb
They just don't know about the fright
C
About the people and the things you like
F Dm
You know you've got nothing to prove
F Dm
The conversations borderline on rude
Bb
And by the time you've had enough
C
How do you tell the one you love?
F
Bb C
He'll never know about the times that you cried in the movies
Bb C
Never know about the times that you cried to the music
Bb C C(mute)
About your mother or your father or the way you got your broken heart
And just a look could be the start
|F |Dm |F |Dm |Bb |C |
F Dm
Oh no no no it's not your style
F Dm
Why should you have to feel like your own child?
Bb
I wonder if he is impressed
C
Should I have worn the other dress?
F Dm
You'd never had a doubt about yourself
F Dm
Why should you take it then from someone else?
Bb
And if by now he doesn't see
C
Maybe it wasn't meant to be
Bb C
He'll never know about the times that you cried in the movies
Bb C
Never know about the times that you cried to the music
Bb C
He'll never know about the feelings that you've had about him from the start
|Bb |C |Bb |C |Bb |Bb |C | x2
Bb C
He'll never know about the times that you cried in the bedroom
Bb C
About the times that you cried in the classroom
Bb C
About your mother or your father or the way you got your broken heart
When just a look could be the start

--STRUMMING--
-This is a good way to play the VERSE, sounds great acoustic or with a band.
This is only for the C and Am section of the verse, the rest of the song
sound good with normal strumming
The arrows will show up/down strokes. ^ for down (towards the e string)
And V for up (towards the big E string).
