Race Chords & Lyrics - Melanie Martinez

Capo 7

Intro: [E] [Am]

[VERSE]
[E]Sweet sweet hold you gently have over me
Caught me w[Am]ith your eyes and lips like sweet honey
Too [E]bad I'm not as sweet as her honey tastes
Cause the a[Am]verage girl simply [Dm]won that race

That [E]race you kept on giving me
Left me [Am]hanging wanting more till you broke free
Bet s[E]hes sweet but not as sweet as I could've been
girls like [Am]her come and go like t[Dm]he boring wind

[CHORUS]
But I'm the [Am]type that stays
with your heart and my heart in many [E]different ways
I call you making sure that [Am]you're alright in the day or in the middle of the [E]night
sorry if that isn't [Am]good enough
confusion has become a [E]little rough
and I'll be on you like the [Am]clothes you wear
and run my fingers through your [E]curled gelled hair
but for now ill let the [Am]race be won by the [Dm]girl without a boy at [E]home

[VERSE]
[E]Hands so purple,

from the knuckle aches,

it's 'cause they,
[Am]create fragile hearts to break.


But a [E]player, will soon see that

his karma goes bad,
when the [Am]girl that he wants,
stabs[Dm] him in the back

[CHORUS]
But I'm the [Am]type that stays
with your heart and my heart in many [E]different ways
I call you making sure that [Am]you're alright in the day or in the middle of the [E]night
sorry if that isn't [Am]good enough
confusion has become a [E]little rough
and I'll be on you like the [Am]clothes you wear
and run my fingers through your [E]curled gelled hair
but for now ill let the [Am]race be won by the [Dm]girl without a boy at[E] home
