The Wrong Girl Chords

   
Album version of chords (as noted by ear)--there is a 
studio version here that doesn't jive with my brain...
and the tabs don't match.  Perhaps this will work 
better for you, too :)  I also find it useful to corr-
elate the chords directly above the sung syllable, 
where it's strummed.   Thanks for reading.

as I always play them.)

Intro: Dm Dm7 Dm Am Am7 Am
       Dm Dm7 Dm Am G   


       Dm                  Dm7               Am Am7 Am
So the floodgates open but nothing comes out 

    Dm                      Dm7              Am G 
I'm feeling no relief in my head, just doubt 
                                                                 
       Dm                      Dm7               Am Am7 Am
But my heart keeps telling me "hold your ground" 
       
       Dm                         Dm7          F G       
You'll never learn a thing if you bail out now 

        C       G      Dm    
And I'm lonely again tonight 
          
      Am             G          Dm 
I can feel it like a knot in my side 
          
          Am             G           Dm 
They keep saying this is part of the ride 
                    
                    Am        G   
But I'm not getting stronger 

    C         G          Dm 
Yet hold me against the light 
                     
       Am      G        Dm 
Do you see any bullet inside? 

         Am              G     Dm 
Wouldn't find one if you magnified 
                                 
                       Am         G  
Because you've got the wrong girl

       Dm                 Dm7                Am Am7 Am
Got my fingers around the back of your chair 
           
    Dm                         Dm7             Am G
You never miss a thing but you missed me there 
  
      Dm                      Dm7     Am      Am7 Am
And I just kept thinking "Am  I   prepared?" 
     
   Dm                          Dm7             Am G 
To pull it out from under your trusting stare 

        F                                            
Now the house is quiet as a hollow head 
        
        Am                                          
And I'm walking around bumping into things you said 
                                            
         Dm                    Dm7     
This has not been as easy as I thought it would 
       
       Am                         G 
I'd be cooling down the fire if I thought I could 

        C       G      Dm    
And I'm lonely again tonight 
         
      Am             G          Dm 
I can feel it like a knot in my side 
                    
          Am             G           Dm 
They keep saying this is part of the ride 
                                 
                    Am        G   
But I'm not getting stronger 

    C        G          Dm 
Yet hold me against the light 
             
       Am      G        Dm 
Do you see any bullet inside? 
               
         Am              G    Dm 
Wouldn't find one if you magnified 
                              
                        Am          G    
Because you've got the wrong girl 
                               
                  Dm    Dm7    Am
Yeah, you got the wrong girl
           
Dm        F        C            G
Oooooo,   ooo,     ooo,   oo-oo-oo
           
      Dm    F      C          G
Oo-oo-oo,   ooo,   ooo, oo-oo-oo

Dm       F      C          G
Ooooo,   ooo,   ooo, oo-oo-oo 

      Dm                G
Oo-oo-oo-ooo, I see you there
          
        Dm                   Dm7                 Am
And the floodgates open, but nothin' comes out
