A G D
And each town has her selfish ways
G D
And each girl has her selfish days
Especially me
A G D
From all the old complaining crew
G Em
And all the new ones moaning, too
A
Then there was you
D G
Smiling when I couldn't smile
D
Drawing me to tears
Feeling out these aches and pains
A
'Cause nothing here comes easy
D
For a selfish girl
You're a pioneer
A G D
And each land has his newfound joys
G D
And pioneers must be big boys
Especially you
A G D
To what your people came here to do
G Em
And who your mama said you could be
A
Then there was me
D G
Crying when I wasn't sad
D
Slouching in my shoes
Damning expectations
A
'Cause nothing here comes easy
D A
For a selfish girl
G D A
I saw the tip of an iceberg explode
G Em
But I'm no tourist on this deep blue sea
G A
Off that hard rock shore
D A G D
For a selfish girl
