"Water Girl" lyrics
Penelope Scott Lyrics

(NC)
Okay!

[Verse]
C#           A#m
No big deal, just a phase
D#m                  G#
Radical, fuck around, college days
C#        A#m
Give it a few more years
D#m                 G#
Then we'll see how everybody feels

C#            A#m            D#m                 G#
I didn't even like it there, there with all the treachery

C#              A#m             D#m             G#
Draw this dirty sinner and then try to punish lechery
C#                   A#m      D#m         G#
But the weather gets hot and I'm back in school
C#           A#m         D#m         G#
And nobody's coming and I can't get cool
C#                  A#m
Nobody cares if I'm crazy here
          D#m
He said, "Thanks for coming," and I'm in tears

C#          A#m
Water girl, water girl
D#m                 G#
I can't do it like that again
C#          A#m
Water girl, water girl
D#m                     A#m
There's gotta be another way
C#          A#m
Water girl, water girl
D#m              G#
Planes that intersect mind-air
C#          A#m
Water girl, water girl
D#m              G#
What else can I say?

C#     A#m      D#m     G#
C#     A#m      D#m     G#

C#                A#m
Breathing in that garbage smell
F#                G#
Rotting wrappers, hot dry air
C#            A#m
Sweaty in my sour mask
F#             G#
I don't care, I don't care
C#           A#m
I don't even like it here
D#m               G#
I'm just here to pay a debt
C#              A#m
Then somebody's kind to you
D#m                G#5
And you're like a child again

C#                            A#m
When the weather gets hot, I'm back in school
     D#m                     G#
And nobody's coming, and I can't get cool
 C#          A#m
I wanna buy a gun tonight
D#m
But my friends say, "No,"
       G#
And I know they're right
C#          A#m
Water girl, water girl
D#m          G#
I am such a goddamn bitch
C#          A#m
Water girl, water girl
D#m              G#
I will learn to live with it
C#          A#m
Water girl, water girl
D#m             G#
Rats and mazes we can't see
C#           A#m
Water girl, water girl
D#m                 G#
But people were so kind to me

(NC)
I am so full of shit
(NC)
Born to cheat and ready to quit
C#                  A#m
I don't care 'cause I love lying
   F#               G#
So why am I always fucking crying?
 C#               A#m
And it's hard to have good fun
     F#          G#
It's easier to just be numb
          C#                     A#m
Than your dipped by the heel and your pockets tied
    D#m             G#
And suddenly you'd rather die

        C#                 A#m
When the weather gets hot, my bones chatter
D#m                   G#
Serve my nerves on a goddamn platter
C#                   A#m
Fillet my flesh from my fucking backbone
D#m             G#
Tell me what I do not stand for
C#          A#m
Water girl, water girl (Nobody minds your fly trap mind)
D#m              G#
I will learn to live with it (When you're holding a Capri-Sun)
C#           A#m
Water girl, water girl (Nobody minds your twisted heart)
D#m              G#
Rats and mazes we can't see (When you show up with a Gatorade)
C#           A#m
Water girl, water girl (Nobody minds your fly trap mind)
D#m           G#
I am such a goddamn bitch (When you show up like you promised)
C#          A#m
Water girl, water girl (Nobody minds your twisted heart)
     D#m            G#
But people were so kind to me (When you make them feel okay)
         C#               A#m
When the weather gets hot my bones chatter (Nobody minds your fly trap mind)
D#m                   G#
Serve my nerves on a goddamn platter (When you're holding a Capri-Sun)
C#                   A#m
Fillet my flesh from my fucking backbone (Nobody minds your twisted heart)
D#m              G#
Tell me what I do not stand for (When you show up with a Gatorade)
C#         A#m
Water girl, water girl (Nobody minds your fly trap mind)
D#m          G#
I am such a goddamn bitch (When you come back like you promised)
C#          A#m
Water girl, water girl (Nobody minds your twisted heart)
    D#m              G#
But people were so nice to me (When you make them feel okay)
