Verse:
Play with Rhy. Fig. 1
* *
Headstrong is willing to live like a rat in a hole
* *
Headstrong... unwilling to listen to anyone at all keeps her
* *
head above the water, keeps her head upon her shoulders
* *
I know, I know, I know she has heard this all before
she don't break, she don't sink, don't think, a thing of me

Chorus:
Guitar 1 Plays Rhy. Fig. 1 & Guitar 2 plays Rhy. Fig. 2
Headstrong can fake an awkwardness, silenced by the price of love
don't get too close in case, push comes to shove, won't
Cmaj7sus2
be your favorite girl, hear you play her song

I don't mind she knows the number I'm writing
we all need some pain
and remember, what you told me, we all bleed the same

Verse:
Rhy. Fig. 1

headstrong is making a list so long, of all the people she has done,

she doesn't notice the things that I take for granted were my
* *
own to give, my own to give and take she don't

don't want to give or take my love
don't break don't sink don't think, of me!
