oh, pretty boy
             G                                 Am
you found it hard to really find out what felt right
          G                                 Am
you wanna be a pretty girl, you'd humped at night
                  G
the streets, your urgency to bleed
    Am
you bruised up both your knees
          F                   E
while rifling through women’s jeans

---------------pre chorus-------------------

             F                E
cause the attraction’s always high
     F                E
sparkling, a sparkled fight
     F           E                        Am
the grittiest of crimes, your clothes are ruined
       F              E
you’re running in the wild,
        F          E
a horse carrying a child
    F                E                 Am
you got your kite so high, I think you flew it
          E
I know it, I think you knew it


------------------chorus---------------------

F        C       G  Am
now it’s all bad education
F       C         G       Am
feeling fine, I’m feeling patient
F         C        G        Am
girls and boys and full frustration
F        C       G       Am
st. valentine, I think I taste it
E              Am
tugging at the seatbelt
    E               Am
I’m jumping out the saddle
    E            Am
I’m shuffling my feet around
    E               Am
I’m kneeling at the steeple
E
when will my heart teeter, tatter?
                          Am     F  Am E E
I‘m a believer, I’m solid matter

------------------verse 2---------------------

oh, pretty girl
you turned it on, you turned it out, it all felt off
that’s how it is, that’s how it was
you searched it all so well, underwater in a bell
you smeared on coral lips while checking off a checked off list

----------------pre chorus--------------------

situations never kind, feathering a dance-hall stride
you’re playing with the craziest locomotive
you broke your fingers in the climb
scuffed up all your pretty shine
you’ve got your air so thin
I think you blew it, did I blow it?
you fell into it

---------------chorus-------------------------

now it’s all bad education
feeling fine, I’m feeling patient
girls and boys and full frustration
st. valentine, I think I taste it
tugging at the seatbelt
I’m jumping out the saddle
I’m shuffling my feet around
I’m kneeling at the steeple
when will my heart teeter, tatter?
I’m a believer, I’m solid matter


-----------------bridge----------------------


Am E   X2 hit first note each time but mute the rest

Am                       
hey, I think I faked it, oh did I fake it?
E                
oh boy your lips look good when you fake it
Am
hey, I think I made it, oh did I make it?
E
you tried so hard, boy, you better make it
Dm
I think I’ll take it, oh, should I take it?
Am
oh, pretty girl, I don’t think you can take it
Dm
I think I hate it, oh, do I hate it?
Am E Am E   Am E Am E
I taste it, I taste it

------------------chorus--------------------

now it’s all bad education
feeling fine, I’m feeling patient
girls and boys and full frustration
st. valentine, I think I taste it
tugging at the seatbelt
I’m jumping out the saddle
I’m shuffling my feet around
I’m kneeling at the steeple
I’m tugging at the seatbelt
I’m jumping out the saddle
I’m shuffling my feet around
I’m kneeling at the steeple

------------------outro---------------------

           E               Am
I hope you feel it in your hands
           E               Am
I hope you feel it in your hands
           E               Am
I hope you feel it in your hands
           E       <--keep strumming this E (haaaaaaands)
I hope you feel it in your hands

end on Am
